NOTES

Directed by Sasha Knezev

Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Heath Ledger, Phillip Seymour Hoffman...famous names that share a common tragedy. America has 5% of the world population and yet consumes 80% of the world's prescription narcotics. American Addict reveals the connections between government regulators, big pharmaceutical companies, physicians, and the media. Together they reinforce treatment through prescribed medication. In the style of the "Inside Job" and "Food, Inc.", this film exposes a shocking hypocrisy most are unaware even exists
