Informercial

This seems to basically be, at best, a two hour infomercial for a fringe cancer clinic, and at worst, another conspiracy film about big bad pharma and propaganda for something someone is selling: in this case, another cancer cure.

If you want to know about Burzynski and his treatments, it's a lot faster just to look up Burzynski Clinic wikipedia. It's a bit tricky to do an Internet search on Burzynski, since some of the results are for his clinic, and a lot of the others are sites claiming his clinic and treatment is an expensive scam. But at least wikipedia tries to cover it from a neutral point of view.

Unlike this movie.
