The new motion picture Addiction Incorporated is part of a unique group of documentaries in that it’s essentially a small budget prequel to a big studio prestige docudrama of several years ago : Michael Mann’s The Insider. The multi-Oscar nominated flick told the true tale of whistle-blower Jeffrey Wigand ( he’s involved in this new film, too ) who revealed to network news producers ( CBS’s ” 60 Minutes ” to be exact ) that tobacco companies were using special additives to cigarettes to make them more addictive ( the film referred to ‘ spiking ‘ ). After viewing the Al Pacino/ Russell Crowe work, you may have wondered how ‘ big tobacco ‘ happened upon this formula. Well wonder no more! Film maker Charles Evans, Jr. has given us all the facts, figures, numbers, and testimonies anchored by one man’s desire to deliver the facts.

The fascinating first hand story of the scientist who exposed tobacco companies as drug pushers. Emerging director Charles Evans, Jr. started something big when he conceived of this documentary expose about the drug delivery side of the tobacco industry. Evans (part of the production team for the smash hit .The Aviator.) teamed up with drug scientist Victor DeNoble for 15 years to produce a powerful film about the intentional addiction of Americans by cigarette manufacturers. The irony of the situation is that DeNoble.s research started with an attempt to isolate the addictive part of tobacco so that the industry could separate it from the cancer-causing part of the tobacco. Thereby creating a safer cigarette. The idea was to...
