Elizabeth Canner/ USA/ 2009/ 73 min.

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 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.
