Site rank 4, IMDb rank 6; Overal rank = 10
Directed by Chris Bell
Year: 2008

Chris Bell presents us with an interesting take on the abuse of performance-enhancing drugs, mainly anabolic steroids. He draws a parallel between bodybuilders’ use of steroids and Tiger woods’ laser eye operation, which brought his vision to 20/15 or the drugs US Air force pilots use to stay longer in the air. But instead of dealing with just the abuse of drugs, Bell tries to uncover the reasons why do people feel compelled to do it in the first place and how is that abuse connected to the American Dream.
