Laying Blame for America's Opiod Epidemic

Painkiller | Official Trailer | Netflix

Opiods kill, especially when avarice doctors are rewarded for over-prescribing them. Be shocked when you read journalist Barry Meier’s PAINKILLER, a riveting account of how Arthur and Richard Sackler’s greed and marketing ingenuity caused death and destruction with their creation of Oxycontin. They lied. People died.

Now a Netflix series.
