All the Beauty and the Bloodshed

PRIDE ON SCREEN. The life of artist and activist Nan Goldin, and her role in the downfall of the Sackler family - the pharmaceutical dynasty who was greatly responsible for the opioid epidemic's unfathomable death toll - is revealed in Oscar winning documentarian Laura Poitras' acclaimed film.
Artist Nan Goldin redefined the form of contemporary photography in the 1970s with her photography of gay and transgender individuals. Moving to New York as the new wave music scene was taking form in the early 1980s, she was among the first to document the rising AIDS crisis and raise funds for those suffering from the disease. Continuing her activism throughout her career, Goldin was among the first artists to highlight America’s opioid epidemic and how those directly responsible – Purdue Pharmaceuticals and its owners within the Sackler family – were using philanthropy to distract from the damage their product was doing to individuals and families
