2008 Films

Being the best is an American obsession and when it comes to body image and athletic performance the pressure to win starts young. Filmmaker Christopher Bell takes on the culture of steroid use with a highly entertaining yet sincere personal story that goes from kids injecting themselves in high school locker rooms to Senators pounding their fists in Washington over this "un-American"practice in professional sports. Bell's interviews with key people on both sides and clips of action heroes and pro-wrestling smack downs nail the contradiction and leave you wondering, "is it still cheating if everyone's doing it?"
