"Bigger Stronger Faster*: *The Side Effects of Being American" - USA

I loved this documentary and the way the filmmaker was able to actually not take a side on this controversial subject. I am so tired of the feeling of getting beaten over the head after watching a documentary where the author is totally one sided in his viewpoint.

One of the best documentaries I have seen in a very long time. I could not believe some of the clips that were in the movie. I wonder how big the budget was for this movie? I loved the fact the author got star-struck when he met Arnold and totally forgot what he was supposed to ask him. I feel kind of sorry for his younger brother "Smelly" who probably lost his job at the highschool after this came out.


Curently it is available on Netflix for online viewing.

I loved these pictures of the filmaker that were taken the same day.

I wonder if the photographer received more or less business after the movie was released?

It's a great documentary. Shows the steroid craze by the media is a bit overblown.
