I just finished watching Nan Goldin’s incredible documentary film about the pharmaceutical oligarchy known as the Sackler family “All the beauty and the bloodshed.” Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t it win the Golden Lion at Venice last year? It is full of controversial elements. Not that I’d dispute any of them tbh. The Sacklers are a scourge. Accessibility of crucial information such as the film elucidates seems like something that we should be striving towards in this life. Knowledge over subversion. Truth over profit. Wouldn’t that be something. But again it comes down to the wealthiest individuals in our society’s benefit over the rest of our collective well being.
