Unnatural Causes, for the first time on film, investigates the sources of our huge and alarming socio-economic and racial inequities in health. The four-hour series sifts through the evidence suggesting that there’s more to our health than bad habits, health care, or unlucky genes. The social environment in which we are born, live and work profoundly affects our well-being and longevity.

This acclaimed set of new documentaries illuminate the dark side of globalization, where labor is exploited, the environment is destroyed, and even human health is often sacrificed in pursuit of higher profits. Health for Sale focuses on Big Pharma, the ten largest pharmaceutical makers, who account for 500 billion dollars of world health spending dollars and whose 205 billion dollars in pre-tax profits were more than the combined profits of the 490 other Fortune 500 companies.
