After her sister died suddenly and unexpectedly while being treated
with prescription antipsychotics, director Anniken Hoel begins a
global investigation into the crimes of the pharmaceutical industry,
the unheralded growth of psychiatric diagnoses and medication, and the
corruption of the government regulatory agencies that have failed,
repeatedly, to protect us. Made over a ten-year period, the film is
simultaneously personal and investigative as it follows Anniken as she
seeks answers regarding not only the death of her sister, but of the
tens of thousands worldwide who have also met a similar fate. Deaths
and damages that until now have been all but ignored. Beginning in a
small town in Norway, and journeying through Scandinavia, the EU and
the US, the chilling documentary-thriller CAUSE OF DEATH: UNKNOWN
exposes the inner workings and motivations of a powerful industry that
continually puts profits before people, and has been far too
influential in defining who is normal and who is "ill".
