Hot and spicy food is enjoyed around the world, but for some, ultra-hot peppers are more than a flavor profile, they’re an obsessive passion. In the new documentary, Crazyhot, join filmmaker Eric Raine as he explores three continents in search of leading farmers, scientists and food alchemists, as well as the community of devoted "chileheads" who use peppers in countless ways -- spicing up a bowl of chili, consuming chiles to the point of euphoric pain, uncovering the booming business of chile and examining Capsaicin's role in cancer research. Raine seeks answers to burning questions as he introduces you to the wide, weird and wonderful world of #crazyhot chiles.
