Overview

In America, we define ourselves in the superlative: we are the biggest, strongest, fastest country in the world. Is it any wonder that so many of our heroes are on performance enhancing drugs? Director Christopher Bell explores America’s win-at-all-cost culture by examining how his two brothers became members of the steroid-subculture in an effort to realize their American dream.

Viewing Notes

This was compelling and fascinating in every way. All the pro wrestling footage was fun as all hell and the argument pro-steroids in sports was convincing. Don’t let the subject matter scare you away; it’s entertaining and constructed well (despite a little overly melodramatic during the final arc). Definitely a recommended watch (esp. for phixed).
