The Crime of the Century

Alex Gibney's searing investigation exposes how America's opioid crisis was deliberately manufactured by pharmaceutical companies pursuing billions in profit.

Through leaked documents, never-before-seen depositions, and Washington Post reporting, Gibney follows the money trail from pharmaceutical boardrooms to Capitol Hill. The investigation captures DEA agents conducting raids, former sales reps confessing to fraud schemes, physicians prescribing recklessly, and politicians accepting donations while evidence mounts.

A damning examination of corporate greed and regulatory capture revealing how systems meant to protect public health were systematically gamed for profit—tactics that continue today.
