Opioids, Inc.

This FRONTLINE investigation, made with the Financial Times, traces how Insys Therapeutics profited from a fentanyl-based painkiller many times stronger than morphine. It documents the bribing of doctors, the aggressive push to widen prescriptions, and the Wall Street money that rode the boom before it collapsed. The reporting connects corporate greed to the wider opioid epidemic and its human wreckage. It is a rigorous, damning account of profit chasing at the heart of a health crisis.
