Quotes
"More scrupulously reported than your average Michael Moore film but every bit as entertaining, Bigger, Stronger, Faster is as commercial as documentaries come -- a no-brainer to market in light of recent sports scandals." — Peter Debruge of VarietyPlot Summary
The film examines the side effects of taking performance enhancing drugs, mainly steroids. Many of the American muscular role models have been linked to steroid use and abuse yet its prevalence in the bodybuilding arena is still present. The filmmaker's two brothers are currently experimenting with steroids and explain why they are choosing it over natural muscle build. The director Christopher Bell conducts interviews throughout the film, talking to a number of celebrities, athletes and politicians about the use of performance-enhancing drugs.-
