<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(51,51,51)">“RX” is an intelligent, dark comedy
about our desire to find the fix-it pill not just for any ailment –but also for
any emotion that could upset us.</span><span style="font-family:Arial"><span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(51,51,51)">Meena had dreams of being a poet, but
somehow ended up as the Managing Editor of <i>Piggeries,
American Cattle & Swine Magazine</i>. Desperate, she signs up for the
clinical trial of a drug to treat workplace depression, where she meets Phil,
the disillusioned doctor managing the study. Fodor’s sweet and pointed comedy
takes a stab at Big Phama and its cynical mission to medicate the whole world
for the condition of being human.</span><span style="font-family:Arial"><span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;color:rgb(51,51,51)"><br></span></p>
