All the Beauty and the Bloodshed: Corporate Fueled Crises
The latest from American Academy Award-winning documentary director Laura Poitras (Citizenfour, My Country My Country) is a poignant documentary that masterfully delves into the dark and personal reality of addiction and the ongoing opioid crisis in America. In doing so against the backdrop of the prolific photographic career of Nan Goldin, All The Beauty and the Bloodshed (2022) provides a far-reaching understanding of the epidemic's multifaceted causes and effects, deftly illustrating the complex and destructive nature of addiction and the systemic failures that have contributed to its accumulation of over 100,000 annual deaths in the country. The film has been a staple of the festival circuit since its 2022 Venice Golden Lion win. Most recently, it has been presented as the opening film of the 2023 One World Romania festival.
