Dr.Docs' Take

Purdue, OxyContin and the opioid war, told through the pill mills, the marketing, and the Appalachian towns that got hit first and hardest. I keep it plain because the subject demands it: this was addiction manufactured for profit and denied for years. The corruption here did not wear a hood, it wore a lab coat and a sales lanyard. A necessary, angry account of a crisis still killing people today.

This investigation traces how OxyContin and the company behind it helped ignite America's opioid crisis. It follows Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family, the aggressive marketing of a powerful painkiller, the rise of pill mills, and the devastation that swept through Appalachia and beyond. Drawing the line from corporate boardrooms to overdose deaths, it asks how addiction was allowed to spread so far. For anyone trying to understand the epidemic still gripping communities today, it is a sobering account. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
