7.5/10 • 84 min • Documentary

Overview

From the co-creator of the sensational hit documentary films Cowspiracy & What The Health, comes HOW TO MAKE DRUGS (and feel great about everything), a comedic look at the process of drug development in the US, uncovering the wasteful, dangerous and the often absurd use of animal testing in the 21st century. Through interviews with premier researchers, physicians, policy experts, lobbyists and activists, a story unravels of unchecked government spending, entrenched culture and faulty science costing taxpayers billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives each year.
