Tribeca Film Festival Must-See: “Off Label” Looks at Big Pharma’s Human Guinea Pigs

April 15th, 2012. By AbiK

If you’re lucky enough to be in New York City later this month, try to make it over to the Tribeca Film Festival for a showing of “Off Label”. The movie, by Michael Palmieri and Donal Mosher, takes a look at America’s drug culture—how drugs are tested, marketed, sold and consumed. And it reveals an oft times less-than-pretty picture of big pharma’s ‘twilight zone’, where drugs are tested by human guinea pigs and the results can be shady at best, devastating at worst.

Just as LawyersandSettlements.com brings you the stories of victims who’ve had their lives irrevocably changed by harmful drug side effects, “Off Label” brings you up close and personal with its subjects’ narratives–and it’s definitely worth seeing. Here are the times & venues where you can catch the film:

4/19 – Thursday, 7:00pm, at AMC Village 7, located at 3rd Ave and 11th St.
4/20 – Friday, 7:30pm, at ClearCinemas Chelsea, located at W 23rd @ 7th and 8th Ave
4/23 – Monday, 10:00pm, at AMC Village 7, located at 3rd Ave and 11th St
4/24 – Tuesday, 3:30pm, at ClearCinemas Chelsea, located W 23rd @ 7th and 8th Ave
