I will host a special screening of Canadian filmmaker and homeopath Ananda More's documentary "Magic Pills" on Tuesday, February 12th at the Palisades Recreation Center (5200 Sherier Place, NW). Doors open at 5:30 p.m. The film will begin promptly at 6:00 p.m. so please arrive early.

Promise or placebo? The film explores multiple media campaigns against homeopathy, which propelled More to travel the world and uncover whether homeopathy is truly science-based and effective or a mere placebo that endangers lives.

Conversation will be welcomed and encouraged afterwards until the center closes at 8:00 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.

$15 admission goes towards screening costs. Please purchase in advance at http://dcmagicpills.eventbrite.com to ensure seating; or cash only will be accepted at the door.

There is a free parking lot and free street parking. The M4 and D6 bus lines both have stops just blocks away.
