The Crime of the Century
In the Crime of the Century, Alex Gibney reveals the systemic corruption behind the U.S opioid epidemic. It shows how Purdue Pharma executives, working with certain physicians-including former FDA oficial Dr. Wright-enabled the agressive marketing and widespead prescription of OxyContin despite serious ethical and scientific concerns. Dr Wright allegedly approved the drug without sufficient evidence of its safety. Moreover, some physicians were bribed and encouraged to prescribe it broadly. OxyContin became enourmously profitable, fueling addiction nationwide. Purdue Pharma later pleaded guilty to federal charges and agreed to pay billions in penalties after a public health crisis that has claimed over 500,000 lives.

The Opioid Crisis Is a Tragedy, but America’s Response Created a Second One
The video analyzes the opioid crisis through the unintended consequences of restrictive governmental policies on pain management. While such measures aim to reduce misuse and overdose, they have also fostered a climate of medical caution in which physicians hesitate to prescribe opioids due to legal and professional risks. As a result, patients suffering from severe chronic pain may experience these regulations as punitive, revealing a structural tension between public health control and the ethical imperative to provide adequate care.
