“I thought I knew everything about the opioid epidemic from the Sackler family to the pill mills to the devastating effects of addiction on families and entire communities. What I didnu0026#39;t know was the massive role played by the 2 Florida brothers featured in this documentary. A well constructed film that tells it like it was back in the late 2000u0026#39;s. The filmmakers connect the dots giving you the entire picture of how their clinics infected the entire country adding fuel to an already burning fire of drug abuse. Great care is given to explaining how they operated within the rules but bent them beyond what any reasonable society or jurisdiction should have tolerated. All parties are represented from patients, family, and dealers to law enforcement who fought an uphill battle to shut them down. An eye opening film that will both disgust and enlighten you on how far people will go for the almighty dollar while having no conscience for the damage they inflict.”
