It was really interesting. Initially I assumed it would explore the effects of designed drugs, but I didn't expect it to take me down the path of animal testing and parkinsons. was quite captivating with real footage of patients, the entire line of discovery to do with MPPP and MPTP, dating all the way back to even 30+ years before the documentary was made. I thoroughly enjoyed it and feel as though I learned quite a bit too.
