THE GUARDIANS

A Chilling Documentary on the Drugging and Abuse of the Elderly



Watch the Trailer on YouTube: https://youtu.be/t8a9fyAcM8I


The Center for Medicare Advocacy, a nonprofit law organization, analyzed the continued overuse of antipsychotics in nursing homes. It found that in 2016, more than 270,000 nursing home residents were still being liberally drugged. The Center decried it as elder abuse and “a national scandal”.


If you have elderly family or are looking forward to your “golden years”, this is a film you CAN’T afford to miss.



Includes Post Screening Discussion with Kerri Kasem, Daughter of Casey Kasem, Founder of Kasem Cares, a non-profit group advocating for elderly rights.

Organized by

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) is a nonprofit mental health watchdog, responsible for helping to enact more than 150 laws protecting individuals from abusive or coercive practices.

CCHR was co-founded in 1969 by the Church of Scientology and Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus Dr. Thomas Szasz at a time when patients were being warehoused in institutions and stripped of all constitutional, civil, and human rights.

CCHR functions solely as a mental health watchdog, working alongside many medical professionals including doctors, scientists, nurses, and those few psychiatrists who have taken a stance against the biological/drug model of “disease” that is continually promoted by the psychiatric/pharmaceutical industry as a way to sell drugs. It is a nonpolitical, nonreligious, nonprofit organization dedicated solely to eradicating mental health abuse and enacting patient and consumer protections. CCHR’s Board of Advisers, called Commissioners, include doctors, scientists, psychologists, lawyers, legislators, educators, business professionals, artists, and civil and human rights representatives.

People frequently ask if CCHR is of the opinion that no one should ever take psychiatric drugs, but this organization (and event) is not dedicated to opinion. It is dedicated to providing information that a multibillion-dollar psycho/pharmaceutical industry does not want people to see or to know. The real question, therefore, is this: Do people have a right to have all the information about (A) the known risks of the drugs and/or treatment from unbiased, nonconflicted medical review, (B) the medical validity of the diagnosis for which drugs are being prescribed, (C) all non-drug options (essentially informed consent) and (D) the right to refuse any treatment they consider harmful.

CCHR has worked for more than forty years for full informed consent in the field of mental health, and the right to all the information regarding psychiatric diagnoses and treatment, not just the information coming from those with a vested interest in keeping the public in the dark.
