In the late 1950s, a small white pill was sold to the world as completely safe.
Doctors prescribed it. Governments approved it. Millions trusted it.
Its name was Thalidomide.
What followed became one of the darkest chapters in medical history.
In this documentary, we trace the full story of Thalidomide — from its rise as a “miracle sedative” for pregnant women, to the birth of thousands of children with devastating deformities, to the global cover-ups, courtroom battles, and the survivor crisis that continues to this day.
This is not just a story about a drug.
It’s a story about scientific arrogance, regulatory failure, corporate denial, and the cost of believing the words “completely safe.”
We explore:
How Thalidomide passed safety tests
Why animal testing failed
The doctors who sounded the alarm
The woman at the FDA who stopped it in the U.S.
The survivors now aging with bodies never meant to last
And why Thalidomide still exists in modern medicine today
