Frequently asked questions

What is Wormwood about? Toggle content

In the genre-bending series Wormwood, director Errol Morris explores the mysterious death of Frank Olson, a U.S. scientist who worked on a secret Cold War program known as MK-Ultra. Nine days after Olson was surreptitiously dosed with LSD by his CIA supervisor, he fell to his death from a hotel room window in New York City. Initially ruled a suicide, subsequent investigations have raised questions of a coverup of an alleged murder. Through interviews with Olson's son, Eric, and other key figures, Morris delves into the shadowy world of government secrets and the human cost of their pursuit.
