On their first day of medical school, each student recites the ancient Hippocratic Oath, promising to do no harm—a ritual that reinforces the healing mission of those who wear “the white coat.” Yet most medical students are unprepared to face the insidious power of the pharmaceutical industry, whose tentacles reach virtually every aspect of their profession and influence medical decision-making in ways few realize. This documentary traces the progress of a handful of student activists and mid-career iconoclasts as they confront Big Pharma’s power head-on, demonstrating that change is possible.
