"I think a lot of anti-vax stuff might be fixed with a compelling documentary."
I am, sadly, not optimistic that this would help.
The anti vaccine crowd, much like other groups and belief systems (even ones you and I might be part of) are as much a statement of politics and self actualization as they are of any rational belief system.
The "facts" are simply after the fact justifications,
conveniently chosen, to bolster their existing viewpoints.
So, no, unfortunately, I don't think a better presentation of the facts is going to change a lot of these minds.
