Part of Artists on Film
Powerful documentary exploring Nan Goldin's battle against the notorious big pharma Sackler family.
The epic, emotional story of internationally renowned artist and activist Nan Goldin, told through her slideshows, intimate interviews, ground-breaking photography and rare footage of her fight to hold the Sackler family accountable for the opioid crisis.
Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Laura Poitras, the film interweaves Goldin’s past and present, the deeply personal and urgently political, from P.A.I.N.’s actions at renowned art institutions to Goldin’s photography of her friends and peers—from her epic The Ballad of Sexual Dependency to her legendary 1989 AIDS exhibition Witnesses: Against Our Vanishing.
