Laura Poitras (Citizenfour on Edward Snowden) delivers an activist documentary as fascinating for the artistic aura surrounding photographer Nan Goldin as for her fight within the opioid crisis.
Nan Goldin revolutionized the art of photography and reinvented the notion of gender and definitions of normality. A huge artist, she is also a tireless activist, who for years has fought against the powerful and controversial Sackler family, owner of a pharmaceutical group responsible for the opioid crisis in the United States and around the world. All The Beauty and The Bloodshed takes us to the heart of his artistic and political struggles, driven by friendship, humanism and emotion.
