VAXO
VAXO is a story of love and protest.
In 2021 Israel launched a national Covid vaccination and the "Green Pass" protest emerged.
VAXO tells the complicated love story between the director and his girlfriend, both leaders of the protest. The Israeli government used every possible sanction, and unprecedented police brutality, against the "Green Pass" protest. The couple's perspective provides a rare glimpse behind the scenes of the protest, whose activists were denounced in the media and by the Israeli Prime Minister as "murderers."
VAXO features doctors from the pillars of medicine in Israel, who talk about deadly ingredients in the Corona vaccines that harmed the health of hundreds of thousands of Israelis. The film presents lawyers who petitioned the High Court of Justice with Freedom of Information Law requests to receive data from the Israeli Ministry of Health proving a 300 percent increase in cardiac arrest cases since 2021 (the start of vaccinations).
VAXO provides a rare glimpse into the truth that is hidden from the public.
