In the shocking and hilarious documentary Orgasm, Inc., filmmaker Liz Canner takes a job editing erotic videos during the drug trial for a pharmaceutical company. Her employer is developing what they hope will be the first Viagra drug for women that wins FDA approval to treat a new disease: Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD). Liz gains permission to film the company for her own documentary. Initially, she plans to create a movie about science and pleasure but she soon begins to suspect that her employer, along with a cadre of other medical companies, might be trying to take advantage of women (and potentially endanger their health) in pursuit of billion dollar profits. Orgasm, Inc. is a powerful look inside the medical industry and the marketing campaigns that are literally and figuratively reshaping our everyday lives around health, illness, desire — and that ultimate moment: orgasm. Upbeat, engaging, enlightening, and provocative, Orgasm, Inc. will change the way you think about sex. Dir: Liz Canner, USA, 2009, Digital, 73 min.
