North American Premiere of "A Billion Lives" Documentary Film Brings out the VIP's

It was a VIP-filled red carpet at the North American Premiere of the award-winning documentary feature “A Billion Lives” Saturday night at the historic Pabst Theatre in Milwaukee. Among the guests supporting the film’s director and executive producer, Aaron Biebert, were Senator Ron Johnson, Herman Cain, and WISN’s Vicki McKenna.

A BILLION LIVES reveals how vapor technology, which helps millions to safely stop their addiction to cigarettes, is being stifled by pharmaceutical companies, anti-smoking advocacy groups, tobacco companies, and even our own state and federal governments -- just as new FDA vapor technology regulations are going into effect. The highly anticipated anti-corruption documentary exposes worldwide government failure, big business corruption, and the battle for a billion lives, which according to the World Health Organization (WHO), will be lost to smoking-related deaths this century.

1400 guests attended the sold-out event that included a panel discussion on the film, cocktail reception, and after party.

A Billion Lives is a production of Milwaukee-based Attention Era Media and won both the Best Director and Supreme Jury Awards at the 2016 Melbourne Documentary Film Festival in Australia. For additional information, visit ABillionLives.com.
