ORGASM INC.

Wednesday, March 23 at 7:30pm

LIVE via SKYPE: Director LIZ CANNER

In the shocking and hilarious documentary Orgasm Inc. filmmaker Liz Canner takes
a job editing erotic videos for a drug trial for a pharmaceutical company. Her
employer is developing what they hope will be the first Viagra drug for women to win
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. USA, 2010, 73 min., color, DigiBeta Director: Liz Canne
