Wormwood *Netflix Original

Helmed by genre master Errol Morris, the six-part miniseries follows a man’s determination to uncover the truth behind the CIA’s deadly LSD experiments utilized during the agency’s efforts to harness mind control and how they led to his father’s death. Starring Peter Sarsgaard, Jimmi Simpson, Tim Blake Nelson, Bob Balaban, and more, Wormwood employs a unique hybrid format that combines long-form documentary interviews with dramatic recreations of the most significant of past events.
