INDEPENDENTS NIGHT

Orgasm Inc
Thursday, May 27: 6:30pm
Tickets On Sale Now!

When filmmaker Liz Canner took a job editing erotic videos for a pharmaceutical company’s drug trials, she was permitted to film the company for her own documentary. Her employer was trying to develop the first Viagra drug for women to treat a brand-new disease: Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD). But are her employer and other medical companies actually taking advantage of women (and potentially endanger their health) in pursuit of billion-dollar profits? Orgasm Inc. is a powerful look inside the medical industry and the marketing campaigns that are literally and figuratively reshaping our everyday lives around health, illness, and desire.


Orgasm Inc
Liz Canner, 2009, USA; 78m


Independents Night showcases New York premieres of American documentaries every other month at the Walter Reade Theater, making it one of the city’s foremost venues for non-fiction work. With the filmmakers in attendance, these provocative evenings of discovery and exploration include a Q&A and reception following the film. Independents Night is programmed by Marian Masone.
