BIGGER, STRONGER, FASTER

In America, we define ourselves in the superlative: we are the biggest,
strongest, fastest country in the world.  We reward speed, size and
above all else: winning – at sport, at business and at war.
 Metaphorically we are a nation on steroids.  Is it any wonder that so
many of our heroes are on performance enhancing drugs?  

From the producers of Bowling For Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11
comes a new film that unflinchingly explores our win-at-all-cost
culture through the lens of a personal journey.  Blending comedy and
pathos, BIGGER, STRONGER, FASTER* is a collision of pop culture,
animated sequences and first-person narrative, with a diverse cast
including US Congressmen, professional athletes, medical experts and
everyday gym rats.

At its heart, this is the story of director Christopher Bell and his
two brothers, who grew up idolizing muscular giants like Hulk Hogan,
Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and who went on to become
members of the steroid-subculture in an effort to realize their
American dream.  When you discover that your heroes have all broken the
rules, do you follow the rules, or do you follow your heroes?
