“When you think of the profit of people’s pain, you can only be furious,” says Nan Goldin in a new trailer for Laura Poitras’ “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed.” The award-winning documentary highlights the photographer’s mission to hold the Sackler family accountable for the opioid crisis. “There’s the Sackler family of the art world, the museum world, and philanthropy, and then there’s the big pharma marketing addiction and death,” we’re told.
Goldin uses art and activism to draw attention to the Sackler family’s wrongdoings, pushing for major museums, including the Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, to stop supporting the folks behind Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin.
