Highly recommend this doc about photographer Nan Goldin and her life in NYC (specifically the East Village) during the 70s and 80s and her activism in ending the stigmas surrounding AIDS and drug addiction and against Purdue Pharma /the Sackler family, who killed half a million people by aggressively marketing OxyContin as a pain-relieving opiod that wouldn't' cause addiction.
All the Beauty and the Bloodshed
Tx, I'll mark it on my To read list.
I read Empire of Pain, on same topic, excellent writing, stunning historical facts.
Artemis! Hello! It's not a book. It's a documentary streaming on Max (and other services): https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/all_the_beauty_and_the_bloodshed
Hello, my friend. Oh, yes, after I managed to pay attention, duh... :--) I think the book makes reference to this docu.
The book reads like a novel, that well- written, and yet, one realizes it's real. Stunning to see how each Sackler generation became colder, wilder, more engrossed in its own power than the previous one. Such books and docu should be running nonstop in the public square.
