Prescription Thugs (2016)

Americans consume 75% of the world's prescription drugs. After losing his own brother to the growing epidemic of prescription drug abuse, documentarian Chris Bell sets out to demystify this insidious addiction. Bell's examination into the motives of big pharma and doctors in this ever-growing market leads him to meet with experts on the nature of addiction, survivors with first-hand accounts of their struggle, and whistleblowers who testify to the dollar-driven aims of pharmaceutical corporations. Ultimately his investigation will point back to where it all began: his own front door.

Thugs offers a damning summary of the FDA approval process as a closed loop in which one hand washes the other and crucial data can remain hidden.

It's unusually confessional and often moving, but Bell's film is unsatisfying as a piece of documentary journalism.

Todd Jorgenson 29 Jan 2016

... lacks focus and depth in several spots, but it touches on some important topics in a way that's both accessible and persuasive.

This is a one sided, low budget Michael Moore wannabe flick. His other documentary, Bigger, Stronger, Faster was very similar. If you are going to be a "real" Documentary Film maker, you have to visit both sides of the issue. There is so much more depth to the issue of addiction and more importantly, many Pharmaceuticals are life saving and beneficial. You want to be taken seriously, then you need to take a much deeper dive but I assume he doesn't have the capital or resources to make a legit and thorough documentary on this very important issue. Maybe next time.

It's symptomatic of the one-man-show form of polemical exposé that's come to dominate, and deteriorate, documentary practice.
