A very human and personal look at the science behind mRNA.

This film does a great job of breaking down some pretty complex science, making it easy for anyone to understand (even those without scientific background). The film not only covers the science behind the mRNA and its role in the COVID-19 vaccines but also dives into the personal stories of the scientists, like Robert W. Malone, who were behind the key discoveries many decades ago. What really stands out is how the movie shows the whole picture, giving us different viewpoints on mRNA and the pandemic, so even if you don't have a science background, it's still super interesting.

The ending leaves you thinking about how medical science keeps moving forward, even when we don't realize it. It's definitely a film that makes you reflect and learn something new.

A glimpse into mRNA, without the lens of COVID19

An engaging story of the history behind mRNA development. While most people associate RNA with the COVID-19 vaccines, THE MESSENGER provides a glimpse into the decades of research and a story of the people behind RNA medicine that exists outside of COVID-19. Not only that, but they explain why RNA itself is only half the battle, with scientists such as Robert Malone and Pieter Cullis providing key solutions to the challenges (providing the 'Envelope' that allows the RNA "Recipe" to get to the right place).

One thing I liked most is that I think both the general public and experts alike have something to gain from watching the story. As it touches upon personal and scientific based topics in an easy to digest manner.

A Film Worth Sharing Widely

I want to sincerely congratulate you for The Messenger: A Story of mRNA. I watched it with great interest and was both moved and impressed. The film brilliantly explains a complex scientific topic without ever oversimplifying it, making the science accessible while preserving its depth and accuracy.

The storytelling is clear and engaging, weaving together scientific breakthroughs, personal stories, and the global context of the pandemic in a powerful and human way. It highlights not only the science, but the people-their vision, resilience, and dedication.

What stayed with me most was the emotional depth and care in how each story was told. It's a film that informs, inspires, and stays with you. I will gladly recommend it to others-it truly deserves to be seen and shared widely.
