Wormwood includes both interviews, including with Eric Olson, alongside dramatic reenactments starring Peter Sarsgaard (as Frank Olson), Molly Parker, and Bob Balaban.
Acclaimed documentarian Errol Morris, behind The Thin Blue Line and The Fog of War, has created Wormwood, where documentary meets scripted miniseries in an attempt to explore the murky history of Project MKUltra and the death of Frank Olson.
The MKUltra project attempted to uncover how mind control could be achieved through certain drugs, namely LSD, which could then be used in interrogations and torture by the agency.
Olson, a bacteriologist and CIA employee, was covertly dosed with LSD by his supervisor.
