A close examination into what many consider to be a "hoax": aspartame toxicity. This documentary attempts to look at what is 'definitively' known about aspartame and discovers that the label "hoax" in this case is a dangerous misconception. In a journey through interviews with varous doctors, lawers, activists and victims, filmmaker Cori Brackett discovers symptoms to a much larger problem:

In Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World, victims are found throughout the country and are finally given a voice. A close examination of the process for approving aspartame by the FDA leads to earllier examples of revolving door activity and how powerful corporations are influencing once trusted institutions. Today, resistance to aspartame continues, as a portrait of this poisoned world also offers hope and remedy.
