Description

Every year, thousands of people in Canada and the U.S. take part in drug trials, to ensure a medication's functionality and safety. Many of those volunteers receive financial compensation for doing so. Bodies for Rent highlights how some volunteers are attempting to earn a living by putting their bodies on the line. It follows two men who spend their days searching for eligible clinical studies, and shows the lengths they’ll go to in order to complete a trial and get paid.
