Like an Oreo: there are two distinct parts but they eventually come together in your gut.

There are two documentaries here, the first is about photographer Nan Goldin and her departure from suburbia to the New York art scene of the 70s-80s.

The second is documentary is about P.A.I.N. (Prescription Addiction Intervention Now), Goldin's advocacy group out to combat the Sackler family (multi billionaire pharma giants who gained the lion's share of their wealth by pushing first valium and then oxycontin on an unsuspecting public).

At the beginning, the juxtaposition of these two documentaries is a little jarring, but as the film progresses we settle into the concept and filmmaker Laura Poitras succeeds in reconciling the two disparate halves.
