Movie Explores Steroid Use and Claims Not Harmful???
“Bigger, Stronger, Faster*” director Chris Bell
Every so often, a movie comes along that feels like a backscratcher that’s been handed to moviegoers just in time to relieve their collective itch.
From “Super Size Me” to “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” “Fahrenheit 9/11″ to “The Passion of the Christ,” each hoped to connect with specialized audiences but ended up appealing to millions more, simply because they were in the right place at the right time. Now, a soon-to-be-released flick is gaining muscular momentum, thanks in no small part to recent headlines.
“This film is an exploration of America’s win-at-all-costs culture during the current steroid issue in America but also the steroid issue that has been in my family for the past 15 years,” burly debut filmmaker Chris Bell said about his documentary “Bigger, Stronger, Faster*,” scheduled for release May 30. “My brother and I were always power-lifters. My older brother was a great football player, and he went off to play football at a Division I college. In the first week he was there, he started using steroids in order to perform better. … Later on, we ended up going down that path as well. We had this feeling that we weren’t good enough — we had to take it to the next level.”
‘It’s considered very safe among adult males — much safer than smoking or drinking alcohol,’ filmmaker Chris Bell says of the controversial drugs. ‘Bigger, Stronger, Faster*’ Explores Steroid Use — And Claims They’re Not As Harmful As We Think
