What is The Crime of the Century about? Toggle content

"The Crime of the Century" is a searing indictment of the pharmaceutical industry and the political operatives who enable their greed. This two-part documentary explores the devastating opioid epidemic that has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, and how Big Pharma's relentless pursuit of profit has led to reckless over-production and distribution of synthetic opioids. The filmmaker, Oscar winner Alex Gibney, sheds light on the shadowy world of corporate greed, government corruption, and the human cost of this crisis. With powerful testimonies from families torn apart by addiction and insider accounts from whistleblowers, "The Crime of the Century" is a damning expose that demands justice for those responsible.
