Made over a ten-year period, the film is both personal and investigative as it follows Anniken seeking answers regarding not only the death of her sister, but of the tens of thousands worldwide who have met a similar fate. How many more will have to die? Big pharma will sell you anything you will buy. Their main concern is not you but their profit margin.
