2011-02-12-running_400.jpgAnd you thought Restless Leg Syndrome was a boondoggle. Undaunted by the tsunami of ridicule that greeted such a dodgy prognosis, the pharmaceutical industry is at it again, floating a new disease -- female sexual dysfunction, or FSD -- and proposing a dazzling array of costly pills, creams, inserts, and worse -- much, much worse -- to "cure" it.

Documentary filmmaker Liz Canner wasn't having it. She took her camera into the testing rooms and clinics, spoke to doctors, researchers, so-called sufferers and determined debunkers, and came up with Orgasm Inc, a sometimes funny and frequently provocative exposé of the corporate franchising of female sexuality and the battle to prevent the redefinition of "normal" pleasure as something dispensed from your local pharmacy.
