  Movies have always been seen for entertainment purposes but over the past few decades, movies have been used to bring certain issues to light.

People who are in excruciating pain do not enjoy waiting an hour or more for their pain to be relieved by narcotic pain relievers. Medical marijuana also has short term ...

In many countries that ...
