In the words of the filmmakers, “Once upon a time, we lived in a world where films simply represented our art, vision, and imagination and were appreciated as such. Today we are confronted by a hyper-polarized society that categorically confines creative arts in an effort to define it by a political agenda. My movie, Implanted (2021) was conceived and filmed pre-pandemic and just happens to be released amidst a global discussion around the vaccine. In a truly free society, one should be allowed to ask questions that disturb the universe; maybe Implanted (2021) does just that, however, it is not motivated by any political agenda, especially given that this film was born in 2017 before COVID-19, although it has just been released on October 1st, 2021”.
Implanted (2021) is available on several digital services including iTunes, Microsoft Xbox, Vimeo On Demand, or VUDU. Here you can watch its official trailer.
