Martin B @MB12345474 06/20/2025 Extraordinarily well put together. This documentary gives a clear, fair and factual account of how the Sackler family committed mass murder and bought off elected officials. The corruption of the US government is shown to get even worse as elected officials are bribed to enable the fentanyl crisis. The film also shows that medical doctors can also be serial killers but exempt from criminality when protected by supplier companies that bribe US lawmakers (ex. Lynn Webster).

All 3 branches of US government are complicit. Where are all the politician's who want to put drug dealers on death's row while Kapoor got away with only 5 1/2 years and delayed the start of his sentence. See more 07/28/2022 This is the sort of thing that makes you angry. It roughly tracks with what I'd read elsewhere. Another of many examples of greed and companies buying the regulators in Congress or affecting the staffing or policies of a government agency whose purpose is to regulate or prevent whatever it is that they're trying to do. It could have been told in half the time. The basic facts of who did what are what's important. To get the points across, audience doesn't need to see lots of minutes of video of sting operations or individual conversations that are similar to others.

See more 05/21/2021 Las investigaciones de Gibney son increíbles, impresionantes e impactantes. Esta investigación sobre la epidemia de opioides, que ha matado millones de personas en EUA, deja ver como el opio (heroína) se a comercializado en ese país (y muchos otros) de forma "legal", en forma de oxicodona, y ha arrasado millones de vidas con el visto bueno del gobierno y bajo el mando de la farmacéutica Purdue, de la familia Sackler, que se tapó en billete con este veneno (y se sigue tapando). Impresionante trabajo que deja ver de nuevo el nivel de corrupción global en que vivimos y lo podrido de las farmacéuticas. See more Read all reviews
