Bigger Faster Stronger* (2008)Directed by Chris Bell, rated PG-13, 105 minutes
Bigger Faster Stronger* is an entertaining and illuminating documentary about how America's win-at-all-costs culture has allowed steroids to thrive, specifically looking at the director's two steroid using brothers. Director Chris Bell finds plenty of interesting people to talk to, ranging from deluded and stupid to intelligent and enlightening, but always amusing. The film thankfully doesn't take a one-sided approach to the subject, exposing some surprising myths about steroid use while addressing the dangers. 
Bigger Faster Stronger* takes an honest look at steroids and their users, but more than that it looks at American culture, and why it's enabled steroids have become so prevalent. You'll like it if: You like documentaries, Super Size Me, The Wrestler, The Devil and Daniel Johnston or Hoop Dreams.
