Behind the Locked Doors (2016)

Behind the Locked Doors is an investigative documentary that looks into the fraudulent and risky nature of a number of pharmacological studies and experiments that take place in Jordan and Egypt. It looks into the story of a chemistry professor involved in the manufacturing of drugs, which are sold online, under illegal and unsuitable conditions. Following the health of a volunteer, the film focusses on the discrepancies between medical drugs certified as effective by pharmacological reports when in actual fact they are not. With the help of a specialist analysis team in a medical analyst centre in the US, we look at the efficacy of a treatment medication for Hepatitis C, a widespread drug in Egypt, and prove that levels of the active substance are in fact very low, corroborating the many complaints this drug has received by its users.
