Prescription Thugs (2016)

In a world where Americans are responsible for ingesting three-quarters of the global supply of prescription medications, filmmaker Chris Bell embarks on a quest to shed light on the dark shadow of addiction that has claimed the life of his own brother. Through his probing exploration into the murky world of pharmaceutical giants and medical professionals entangled in the web of a burgeoning drug market, Bell encounters a myriad of voices - from addiction specialists to survivors bravely sharing their harrowing tales, as well as insiders blowing the whistle on the profit-driven schemes of pharmaceutical conglomerates. As his investigation unfolds, Bell's path circles back to a haunting realization: the heart of this crisis lies closer to home than he ever imagined.
