The Law and Biodefense Box Office
Film and Documentary Movie Reviews
This film and documentary review commentary is a guide to the value and interest to both the field of law and the field of public health and biodefense. The rating system is a "snapshot" look, while the linked reviews provide greater detail for an audience whose interests are in these areas, as well as the casual viewer looking for background for these areas. We hope that you enjoy this ongoing project, and we welcome your input.
