Orgasm Inc. (2009)

In the strikingly candid and often humorous documentary, Orgasm Inc., filmmaker Liz Canner steps into the world of pharmaceutical intrigue. Initially hired to edit erotic video content for a drug trial, Liz finds herself in the heart of a feverish race. The finish line? The creation of the first FDA-approved Viagra for women, aimed at treating the newly coined condition: Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD). As Liz records the company's inner workings for her own documentary, her lens is initially focused on the intriguing intersection of science and pleasure. However, as she delves deeper into the corporate labyrinth, the plot takes an unexpected turn. Suspicions arise that her employer, along with a network of other medical corporations, might be exploiting women's intimate health issues, risking their well-being for the lure of billion-dollar revenues. Orgasm Inc. takes the viewer on an eye-opening journey, providing an extraordinary backstage pass to the pharmaceutical industry's relentless pursuit of profit.
