ABOUT Healthy Volunteers Wanted

Healthy Volunteers Wanted is a film with stunning access, following two individuals living on the margins of society who, over the course of a year, make their living by renting out their bodies for pharmaceutical drug testing. Along the way, the film uncovers the darkest secrets of this industry—secrets big pharma would rather keep hidden from the world.
