Dated, but always current, "Inventors of diseases" is an investigative journey that starts from the United States and traces a disturbing story on the pharmaceutical colonization of large slices of the planet's population, through the alluring suggestions of advertising campaigns, the countless conflicts of interest and the many hidden complicities.
