Extraordinary People

Extraordinary People. It's 30 years since the world's greatest prescription drug disaster. Thalidomide was 'safe for pregnant women', yet 10,000 babies were born deformed. In Canada the drug stayed on the shelves for three months after being banned in Europe. This Emmy award-winning film follows three Canadians fighting for government compensation.
