This video was produced in collaboration with the Paper Tiger Television collective. We researched the methods used by the pharmaceutical industry to both advertise and push their pills. Great archival footage accompanies High’s breakdown of the chemical pathology in western medicine as a means of social control and as market commodity. The episode begins with an illumination of the ways that doctors are coerced into prescribing certain drugs by the pill companies, as well as how the refinement and dispensing of controlled drugs has been instrumental in creating the social prestige of medical doctors.
