Dr.Docs' Take

This traces the Sackler family and Purdue Pharma, from Arthur Sackler pioneering aggressive drug marketing to the launch of OxyContin, a campaign the film links to more than half a million deaths. I set every joke aside here. This is not a mystery, it is a business decision with a body count, protected for years by wealth and lawyers. Watch it, then look at the museum wings that used to carry the family name.

This documentary uncovers the story of Purdue Pharma and the launch of OxyContin that helped ignite the opioid crisis. It traces how Arthur Sackler pioneered aggressive drug marketing and how his relatives later amplified those tactics. Through this history, it reveals the human cost of a scandal linked to hundreds of thousands of deaths. Concise and damning, it exposes the roots of a devastating epidemic.
