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.

“By taking a playful approach to a deeply serious subject,
[director Liz Canner] explores the link between female sexuality and
corporate profits with a style that’s as entertaining as it is
revelatory.” – Jeannette Catsoulis, The New York Times
