New Errol Morris documentary about CIA dosing an unwitting man with LSD, who committed suicide

It's well known that the CIA would dose unwitting, innocent people with LSD to see how they would react. Filmmaker Errol Morris has a new docudrama series on Netflix called Wormwood about a Frank Olson, who was given LSD by the CIA without being told, and suffered so badly from it that he jumped out of a window to his death.

Directed by boundary-breaking filmmaker Errol Morris, Wormwood explores the limits of knowledge about the past and the lengths well go in our search for the truth. A twisting, evolving story of one mans sixty-year quest to identify the circumstances of his fathers mysterious death. Combining a virtuosic performance by Peter Sarsgaard with Morris legendary interview style, Wormwood examines this case from every possible angle, bringing the viewer face-to-face with some of the United States darkest secrets. Wormwood sets a new standard for nonfiction filmmaking and finds Morris working on his grandest canvas yet.

Wormwood - a Netflix original story told in 6 chapters - is produced in association with Fourth Floor Productions and Moxie Pictures.
