12/21/2016 A bit misleading to attribute this too much to the Nazis but we have a compelling story nonetheless about drug victims seeks compensation from a negligent drug company. See more 05/28/2016 Interesting story about 60 year wait for justice and the power of journalism See more 05/24/2016 What started out as an interesting documentary about the horrors of thalidomide, turned into a documentary about the person who broke the story's career. While interesting, I felt like the film lacked focus and fell apart about halfway through. It was well shot and the production values were obviously high. See more Read all reviews
