Why watch this film?
Irène Frachon, a doctor who lives in the Breton town of Brest, dares to stand up to the French health and pharmaceutical industry, helping to uncover the media scandal surrounding the commercialization of a controversial medicine whose side effects have caused the death of hundreds of people.
"This is a true story, the story of the drug Mediator, which caused at least 500 deaths in , now brilliantly adapted for a modern audience by director Emmanuelle Bercot. The case has yet to be resolved in court, but '150 Milligrams' brings a bit of justice to those who have worked hard to prevent further deaths."
