Amazon has just begun selling “Two Small Voices,” the film that was done for Lifetime TV about the breast implant issue nearly nine years ago.

History:

At the time the movie was made and first released for TV, the manufacturers prevailed upon the network to change specific references to “the Meme,” an implant sold by Bristol Meyers and Dow Corning. They further required a five-minute tag done by Linda Ellerbe outlining the controversy about implants from a more pro-manufacturer point of view. That version of the movie has been seen around the world, many times, over the past many years.

Present Situation:

The version being sold on Amazon is the original version of the movie without the changes required by the manufacturers. It does not have the Linda Ellerbe tag either. It costs $9.99.

Although the movie is somewhat dated (it now costs nearly $15,000 to remove implants as opposed to the $5,000 number mentioned in the movie), it still is important for women considering implants to watch. Women need to know the history so that the history is not repeated. And the history is in that movie.

Kathleen Anneken and I kept the production of the movie a deep, dark secret for nearly a year until it was ready to be aired. We knew that the manufacturers would not have wanted it to be shown.

I am very pleased that the movie is available in its original form even though it’s a bit embarrassing for me to watch because I’m really not that fancy and aggressive and Kathleen was amazing and wonderful and a joy to work with from the day I met her.
