Bigger, Stronger and Faster

Bigger, Stronger, Faster
Written/directed by Chris Bell

I was fortunate to get to be a part of the Tribeca Film Fest this year and happened upon many excellent screenings (which hopefully find an audience beyond Union Square). One in particular, Bigger, Stronger, Faster, a doc by Chris Bell about steroids in American culture was simply spectacular. It was picked up by Magnolia Films in tandem with ESPN and will be released May 30th.
There were so many exciting things about this film--a controversial subject thoughtfully explored, subjects who you can identify and empathize with, documentary style which asks questions, does not demand responses, and most of all, a new turn in the traditional male picture--macho guys with internal conflict that doesn't correlate with shoot ups. Oh wait, well at least not the Transformers type.
Do not miss this film.
