Filmmaker Kevin P. Miller sets out to document what he calls a coordinated push to restrict public access to herbs, vitamins, and other supplements, tracing it to the Codex Alimentarius Commission, the joint WHO/WTO body that sets international food standards. The film uses footage shot inside an actual Codex meeting, described as the only video of its kind, alongside interviews with Codex delegates, U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials, and two members of Congress who raise concerns about the commission's reach. Consumer activists from several countries appear to argue that multinational pharmaceutical and food companies are steering these standards to squeeze out alternative and complementary medicine. Actor Mel Gibson turns up as an interview subject voicing support for health freedom, and Dame Judi Dench narrates throughout, lending the argument a measured, matter-of-fact delivery rather than an alarmist one. The film's case rests on the claim that an obscure regulatory body most viewers have never heard of could quietly determine what supplements stay legal on store shelves worldwide.
