'Shot in the Arm' screening

Atlantic City, N.J. — A free film screening and panel discussion on vaccine hesitancy and misinformation will take place on Friday, Oct. 24 at Stockton University’s Atlantic City campus.

“Shot in the Arm,” directed by Academy Award nominee Scott Hamilton Kennedy, examines vaccine misinformation, trust and the future of global health. The film will be screened by Stockton’s School of Health Sciences at 4 p.m. in the Fannie Lou Hamer Event Room in the John F. Scarpa Academic Building, 3711 Atlantic Ave.

Following the film, experts and community leaders will share insights and engage in dialogue with the audience. Kennedy, who also wrote and produced the film, was nominated for an Oscar in 2008 for his documentary “The Garden,” which tells the story of the complicated struggle over the nation’s largest community garden in Los Angeles.
