Heart of the Matter with Elizabeth Vargas

[link removed]

When the miniseries Dopesick premiered on Hulu in late 2021, it was to
a world reeling from the conclusion of Purdue Pharma's
bankruptcy proceedings - a settlement that infamously absolved
the Sackler family of any opioid-related liability. The show, based on
journalist Beth Macy's eponymous account of the opioid crisis
and starring Michael Keaton in his Golden Globe-winning return to
television, dramatizes the devastation left in the wake of
OxyContin's 1996 introduction to the market and is a powerful
depiction of the consequences of corporate greed and government
corruption.?

Join Elizabeth as she goes behind the scenes with Beth Macy and
award-winning actor and Dopesick creator Danny Strong in a
conversation about the research that made the show possible, the
corruption at the heart of the opioid crisis, and the responsibility
they felt to amplify victims' stories and portray their pain
with empathy and unflinching honesty.
