The Sackler family, former owners of Purdue Pharma, became notorious for their role in the U.S. opioid epidemic through the sale of the highly addictive drug OxyContin. Goldin, who received treatment for her own OxyContin addiction, formed the advocacy group P.A.I.N. to protest institutions that accepted donations from the Sacklers. The film highlights Goldin's personal journey and her fight for accountability regarding the opioid crisis.12
