Like an urban legend, the specter and scope of America's pharmaceutical dependence deters most of us from even dwelling on the issues it provokes, which is what makes Off Label a miraculous investigation.

Telling the stories of those affected by the pharmaceutical industry (from patients to physicians to professional guinea pigs) while keeping their stories human and even humorous, directors Mosher and Palmieri expose the causes and tragic consequences of overmedication. Here is a documentary that will startle you, not only with facts, but with a tone as down-to-earth as the individual subjects it follows.

* Off Label was the inaugural grantee of the Northwest Film Fund, our grant program supporting Northwest filmmakers. We screened the film first during Local Sightings, our annual fall film festival, in October 2012.
