Bigger Stronger Faster* is a 2008 documentary film directed by Chris Bell which follows the lives of himself and his two brothers, Mark and Mike Bell, and their use of anabolic steroids. The film looks at the use of steroids in America and the different reasons for its use, including the pressure to be competitive and the search for the American Dream. The film follows the brothers’ lives as they strive to live up to the words “bigger, stronger, faster” and as they grapple with the legal and ethical implications of their actions. The film also looks at the personal cost of steroid use and explores the devastating effects it can have on the body and mind. The film ultimately serves as a cautionary tale of the dangers of anabolic steroids and provides an honest look at the measures some people will take to achieve their dreams.
