Bodies for Rent

Each year, countless individuals across Canada and the U.S. participate in drug trials to verify the effectiveness and safety of medications. Many of these participants are financially compensated for their involvement. “Bodies for Rent” sheds light on the lives of volunteers who try to make a living by risking their health. The film focuses on two men who dedicate their time to finding suitable clinical studies, revealing the extreme measures they take to finish a trial and receive payment.
