Renowned photographer Nan Goldin has used her status in the art world to hold the Sacklers - a family of pharmaceutical entrepreneurs and philanthropists - responsible for the opioid crisis. The protests she organised sent shock waves through major art institutions. Director Laura Poitras (Citizen Edward Snowden) has created a remarkably candid, moving and epic story of this artist, weaving together her ground-breaking photography, her passionate activism and her personal life of pain and light. "This is only the second documentary to win the Venice Golden Lion. But this accolade and its incredible story are not the only reasons to watch it. Both the director and the protagonist are American artists I love and have long followed. "Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras is interested in the outcasts who disrupt the established order, who create social change through their actions, and who often fall out of their normal lives as a result. No wonder she was attracted to photographer Nan Goldin, who documents her own life and that of her surroundings as they are, without embellishment. Shocking in its beauty and pain."
