The Crime of the Century (2021): Official Trailer | HBO - บันเทิง
No documentry trailer is complete without the crazy violin scores at end
I think that’s obligatory these days to have the violin sounds in “serious” documentaries.
Just like movie trailers with the booming sub bass between cuts
LOL!
So irritating, I want to hear them speak
Facts
When I was 23/24 I had 2 surgeries on my left foot. I was written an essentially bottomless prescription for OxyCodone. I stayed with my mother for a month after each surgery and was incredibly lucky that she is a pharmacist and refused to fill the prescription. Addiction runs in my family and I am horrified to think of what could have happened if she hadn't been there. Rest in peace to all of the victims of this crisis
I just want to try one oxycontin in my life
@@jasesjandrn9479 do you have a wish to throw your life away?
@@jasesjandrn9479 I was on oxy for a week and I promise you it's not quite as exciting as you think. It's just numbing medication!
What could have happened? Probably nothing unless you decided to abuse the drug and drink at the same time.
@@justgivemethetruth it's a highly addictive drug. there's literally an entire health crisis about it. don't underscore its danger
Whats worse is after these innocent people get addicted, Doctors get scared and drop them leaving them helpless and suffering from withdrawls and agony.
Yup. My doctor wouldn’t bring it down. He said you have to go to an inpatient detox. Well my insurance doesn’t cover it. Did it cold turkey. Never again!
And leave crippled people in pain
Also people who are really in pain can’t get a prescription.
Kratom
@@wfl6887 This is the unfortunate truth in *many* cases these days. I’m very lucky to now have a *GOOD* , caring, understanding doctor. As I’ve had some HORRENDOUS ones in the past. Even one that was arrested for defrauding the government (Medicaid) out of over a million dollars...and that wasn’t even the worst thing about him! I’ve never met anyone more unprofessional (& just plain *AWFUL* ) as that pos was. So many, like him, are just about greed.
I just lost both of my brothers to an opioid overdose 3 weeks ago. It all started 10 years ago with prescription oxycodone. I haven't watched this documentary yet, but thank you HBO for producing it.
Very sorry to hear about your brothers.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Im so sorry 💕
So very sorry!! 😔
I’m very sorry for your loss. 😔
Came here after tv show "Dopesick". The hardest part is Sackers family still has their billion $$ and also didn't apologize to any family who lost their love one's.
They belong in a homeless camp
I’m 4 days clean today.
Keep going, proud of you 💛
More power to you! Keep going!
Hang in there!
I've been clean for 12 years, but it's still one day at a time. Stay strong!
How are you doing TODAY?♥️
& exactly what were you using/for how long, if you don’t mind me asking?...
Doctor wrote my father a prescription for this very drug in 1998. And in 2015: I watched my father die in front of me from the after effects that this drug had done to him from years of abuse.
♥
I lost my husband in 2015. Same reason.
Why did they write the prescription in the first place ?
you should name these doctors by their names and where they practice
@@theonesillyboy *Not every Dr* that prescribes patients pain medications are bad🙄🤦🏻♀️. Many are actually just HELPING/treating their patients. You know, as they’re SUPPOSED to be doing...
(& they’re just doing patients *more harm than good* these days w/legitimate chronic pain patients, bc of the government scaring them)
You don’t know this guys story. And if he was *abusing* it (as his son stated), how is it then automatically the Dr’s fault? 🤔
HBO documentaries are always top notch. Have to to watch this one
The Pharmacist, there is already one on Netflix.
@@mocsikaa.8234 I have HBO and other premium cable, have no time or need for Netflix
Not always.. They should avoid repeating the farce mockunentaries like Leaving Neverland and all the other ones built on clear BS & lies.
They need to stop riding the popularity tides just because it will make them more money or because it will give them a momentary edge over Netflix.
Because that momentary edge is just like a dose of Oxycontin!
Yes It will give you relief for a while HBO, but when the truth comes out, you lose credibility!
@@Tamirpop I never even heard of that one no less watched it. They can’t ALL be total winners
I lost a lot of faith in HBO after the Allen V. Farrow BS-o-mentary.
Good timing, considering a lot of these pharmaceutical companies now have a massive lawsuit going against them.
What a coincidence!
The story has been well documented for years. I wouldn't call it a coincidence but rather say that you only gain your knowledge from big productions like this, which are generally late in the day relatively speaking.
They fight against them self and work on it also Them Selves. Law suits are a small amount in their pocket book.
In the end no one from big phrama went to jail! But let’s lock up those dealers who sell nickel and dime bags
Exactly!
This documentary is infuriating!!
why would politicians lock upo their funders
This is what got me most upset in the end... the initial pushers were never sentenced or jailed but they made billions in generational wealth...but as soon as it went to the black market, dealers making hundreds were arrested....ridiculous... how is that justice
If you are poor, black, latín or asiatic, you are guilty 😉👌 ( the US governement is pretty corrupt and much more snobbish)
4 years clean. I try to take 100% responsibility for my addiction, but when it started in a doctor’s office when I was 22 it’s hard not to get angry.
The state stripped me of my professional certification due to DUIs. Still lost, still unemployed ... but at least I’m not using today
Keep it up
So proud keep it up you are so strong
Can you move state and get re-certified. Don't let it define you. Stay healthy :)
God bless you my Bro! Stay strong! 💪💪
HOW, how does Alex Gibney continue dishing out solid documentaries so consistently?
I dont know either but I love everything he does.
Magic
what else? i'll look for them.
@mommy2cutestbabyever thanks! just watche "crime of the century" was excellent. will look for the others.
He’s at the ken burns level although ken does more historical stuff
Unless those at Purdue who profited off all of this are hauled to jail and not get away with just paying fines, all this investigative stuff is pointless
"but hey guys, clearly, marijuana is the problem here"
oh ya it sure is :P
the reason they decided to make it legal was so they could capitalize on it!
Marijuana can oftentimes be a "gateway" to more serious drug.... c'mon now people.
@@amandagarcia6320 sugar is the gateway
@@turbulentadventurer9709 No the reason they made it legal is because they have no authority to tell us what kind of grass we can smoke or not.
So, the way I see it is we are making documentaries yet it is still available. Fantastic. Good Work.
I lost years of my life to oxy, after diagnosis of a brain tumor (cause that wasn't bad enough! 🙄)
They prescribed as high as 100mg of quick release tabs a day, starting at age 26.
I still struggle with the fallout from this. Absolutely criminal.
U got the vaccine?
@@vicvic2081 no
So sorry! 😔
impossible. immediate release tablets at that strength not available
@@jimwilliams5788tabs. They are taking 100mg a day. Very easy to be prescribed 30s multiple times a day
I had experienced the worst pain of my life with a neck injury 4 weeks ago. The doctors prescribed 3 days worth of Diazepam on the NHS alongside co-codamol and Naproxen for 2 weeks. I felt like the Diazepam did more for my pain management but the doctor warned me that it's extremely addictive and to try and manage the pain with the naproxen and Co-codamol. After 2 more days of being uncomfortable but not in *pain* they were doing enough for me to be comfortable. I've now made a full recovery after seeing an Osteopath and identifying the injury and treating it.
I'm fairly certain that in America I would've just gotten pills.
Difference being the cost. In America individuals pay for their healthcare, here we have the NHS and free prescriptions in Wales or for those on a low income. Here, Dr's are driven to be thrifty, the exact opposite in the U.S, where the country's not footing the bill.
I was there in the medical field wondering why the pharmaceutical companies were bringing high end lunch’s with vacations & other monetary incentives! 🤦🏽♂️
Walking in with their ridiculously loud, drug-filled rolling suitcases. Every time I was at a Drs appointment, there was *always* at least one of the drug reps coming and going. (And I’m not even just talking about one, single dr, either...it was *ALL* of em that constantly had the drug reps coming in through a revolving door!)
@@bluedelerium You painted a perfect picture of the Pharmaceutical Drug Lords!👍🏽
@@iseebothsides I’m a actually watching the documentary rn (it just premiered a few hours back!)...funny how familiar others stories sound/ARE😬 (& it’s *EXACTLY* as it went down). Even though I’m only about 30 min into it, I can already say it’s a great documentary, & def worth the watch! Very eye-opening & informative for those that that aren’t familiar with how this all started...
We then honestly can't get mad at folks who question getting the jab?
@@bluedelerium where are you watching it
Title of the documentary should be "How do rich people get away with anything."
exactly what i thought. and the fact that they never been in prison
Exactly! People like El Chapo, who played the drug game fair and square, at least are now rotting in a hole for it. And what did the Sacklers exactly get? - except for a golden ticket out of prison, not being able to be prosecuted for any of this and having to pay 3 billions, while making billions more?
"Trust the science" they said for the past 2 years ;)
20 yrs later.....
Some of us trying to piece our lives together again ....some quit altogether, ...and the rest are on some kind of substitute...
Still a lot of suffering. Not to mention the psychological loss of friends and loved ones. Im with ya.
you care for your little self. drop off passive
Yep, and after all of this mess, I spend my days in pain quite a lot from Lupus and I can't get anything stronger than Ibuprofin 800. I'm in "that" age group and I'm female so I guess I'll have to wait for someone to take this seriously once I hit 60 years old or so. Don't forget that there are also people who have been caught up in this mess left in chronic pain and have decided to commit suicide over it. Trust me, I've tried myself. I absolutely hate being so young and disabled and nobody will help anymore.
I am so sorry :(
Try medical cannabis. Opioids will drastically shorten your lifespan.
@@srso4660 I have tried. Unfortunately, it makes me sick. Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome is what it's called, I think? I truly wanted it to work, too.
I got into a fight with Pfizer when they tried to break into the MS medication market - they were pushing pain killers. There is some pain in MS, but there's more disability - Pfizer just wanted a new market for opioids.
@@blindmelonstubbly I won't touch that with a ten foot pole. It's not meant for pain, it's meant for addicts. And it blocks other opiods from working, so if I am in pain and need to be hospitalized, nothing they can give me there would work. I have Lupus, and Lupus is really good at attacking the kidneys. Should I need surgery for one to be removed or for a transplant, I certainly do not want to wake up from that and not have any pain medicine that would work. I've had 8 surgeries so far in my life. I've woken up from 3 of them with 40+ staples in my abdomen and nearly popped some out because the nurse couldn't pull my medication up fast enough. Having nothing work would be disastrous!
Post-surgery, opioids became my lifeline. But what started as relief soon ensnared me in addiction's grip. With unwavering support, I broke free, reclaiming my life one courageous step at a time. Today, I stand victorious, scars as reminders of battles won, embracing each moment with newfound clarity and strength.
Sad that the companies are not held accountable
@@EarthenGames Saw what you tried to do here: spreading faults info. Purdue pharma made pain killer OxyContin. They don't make any vaccine at all!
@@omyogagal and just because Pfizer does the marketing for the BioNTech vaccine, they get to slap their name on it...
@@EarthenGames you only have to take the vaccine once maybe twice.
False equivalency at its finest.
@@davidkruse4030 What do you mean, "once maybe twice"? It's an irrefutable fact that you have to take the vaccine twice, that's what the whole "second shot" thing is about. I'm not saying I agree with Matt, I'm just saying that it's not a maybe, it's a definitely.
What is worth thanks pfizer saving my life from the covid and also water with honey.
This 2-part documentary is a must-see.
Really informative video👍👍👍
A First World Country on the Surface....
But everything but that deep within
Greedy people are everywhere.
Quote is fabulous
@@mithlesh8512 It doesn't quite make grammatical sense to me.
It's called late stage capitalism
@Bibi Blue Show your work
Last spring, my dad used 400mg oxycodone *every day* ... Also mixed with some sleeping pills, it's a miracle he didn't overdose. His doctor didn't even notice how many prescriptions he wrote, in my country, prescriptions are electronic and every prescription prescribed is accessible for the Dr. so going from Dr. to Dr. isn't really an option.
I am surprised your Dad got this much, the CDC wants people on 90mg and below.
2022 Still waiting for the same documentary for COVID 💉
Right!? Amazing how many people won't let the penny drop on this exact same industry duping the entire world with COVID etc.
It finally premiered tonight! I’m just beginning to watch it now (although I have a pretty freakin’ good idea of how it goes down😬)...
How would I contact HBO about another potential documentary?
i wonder if they are gonna say when this drug came out they said they drug is non addicted because that is what every dr told a person they gave them this was true, they said this is the new wonder drug where ppl wont be hooked on
Spoiler:
On top of all the other disgusting things in this tale, is the horrible fact that when all is said and done it is the lowly self addicted dealer who is given the biggest punishment. Meanwhile the billionaire corporate execs/owners funnel the money out of their company and are sitting pretty. How they sleep at night, I will never know.
Law and order only applies to normal folks.
I work as an auditor and I can't trade stocks due to fear of knowing information on the industries I audit, yet, our politicians who are in charge of policy and who have all of the intelligence, can day trade freely all they want. the system has always been rigged against the normal folk.
How we accept it I don't understand, beyond preposterous.
What's insane is that we knew this and fell still fell for the current one. Same players pulling another scam: pharma, fda, docs and policymakers.
Is this documentary not on netflix or showmax? Where can we watch
I just dont understand why people are skeptical of prizer and moderna vaccines
Lol : )
They think that mRNA will change their DNA and turn them into monsters or freaks.
How to create the best cartel ever? Disguise is as medical research and legitimate business. Great strategy. And they never go to jail even if discovered.
Awesome super stellar doc series the best to date in my opinion the unvarnished truth a story that must be told
Oh, Alex, you are certainly one the greats
So this is only available on HBO Max and not HBO?
Where is it possible to watch this in Germany? Thank you.
well i sure do hope they all get fined at least 2% of the profits they made, that will teach them for sure
2%…..🤔
I agree. They'll probably be made to shell out what amounts to a minuscule amount of money for them. $100,000,000 is nothing to them. They should be made to pay in the billions.
Nice sarcasm! 😂
"Trust the science" they said.
Dopesick brought me here!
The should force the sacklers to take their own drug until they become hooked then let them see what withdraw feels like. Then right as they are about to be free of withdraw do it all over again and again until they reach the number of people who dies from and overdose from their drug
And then the FDA had the gall to try and get kratom banned
7 years clean its extremely hard. An it really is 1 day at a time it's not just a saying
The problem dealing with 'the machine' is that only what they approve will be distributed.... I could make a documentary on AZT/HAART with very similar points including the exact same line "but what if i told you this crisis began with a crime'" and it would still be factually true.
Shutout to the opening shot of my hometown of Salt Lake City!
It reminds me of the movie "Spotlight"
How? The movie “Spotlight” and this documentary are about two entirely different subject matters. If you’re interested in the movie “Spotlight”, I would recommend watching a documentary called Twist of Faith. It’s on HBO Max. Deliver Us From Evil is also a good documentary, and it’s on Amazon Prime, Tubi, and Plato TV.
@@sabrina.natalie found it. loved "Spotlight" thanks for the rec.
Well people do need pain treatment... some people don't.
These medications are intended for intense pain treatment for a short period of time. Post dental surgery I imposed a 2 day rule. One a day a night for 2 days. The rest got thrown out. I don’t need 2 weeks of oxy or hydrocodone. I am supposed to feel uncomfortable- I just had my mouth cut open. After 2 days. Advil or Alleve. My dental surgeon was sort of surprised. I believe in medicine and doctors but too much of anything can’t be ok.
My husband didn't use his either, thank God!!
At last....someone who has realized all this is based on personal responsibility. Thank you for understanding it's YOUR health, YOUR body, so if you are not comfortable taking medication long term, then don't!! Challenge you doctor as to how to manage your recovery and pain management. If you don't need those pain killers after a day or so, THROW them out! If you need them longer, ask the doctor WHY am I still in pain, WHY am I still needing these. It's YOUR body!!!!!!!!
This is one of my top nominees for the Netflix series Dirty Money - any plans for one on the Dalkon Shield?
Learnt about that case in business ethics. That’s a messed up one.
What a time.. brilliant
This documentary is more about the industry capture of government at the hands of both parties.
I wanna watch this one
Watch a 4 part miniseries called "The Pharmacist" as a precursor to this.
When does this come out
@@AndogaSpock oh yeah I remember the trailer to that last February 2020 or something like and wanted to watch it and completely forgot about that smh and I take it, it’s a good watch and will start watching that before this
Let me guess no one went to jail🙄🙄
Only the patients who eventually became addicts if they were cut off.
@@jl9554 and a lot of 'em. Purdue unleashed an evil that has more layers than an onion.
The movie Oxymoron, although not a true story, must be based off true events. I'm guessing those scenarios were happening all over the US if not the World.
In Australia, You are risking to loss the custody of your children if you refused to allow them to take pain killers in hospital!
Hmmm... "Believe the science".. Sounds familiar
It’s not over, Benzodiazepines are the next one, not saying it’s bad in every situation but it’s being way overprescribed
It’s not. Benzodiazepines have been around and over prescribed for 50 years.
This should have been on Netflix...
This has been going on for a long time
That WAS the crime of the century but this was passed already by the WEF, black rock, vanguard!
my 10 year old neice lost her father (my brother jeff) to fentynal jan 6, 2019 and then lost her mom 2 months after her 11th birthday to fentynal August 2019.
state agency like Maryland HHS give this stuff out. and it kills more than just the people that die.
Oh my goodness, that is tragic. I hope she grieves and gets better.
im currenty addicted to opiods, im 24 and its awful. Im trying to transition over to medical cannabis but being in the UK thats not so easy
How to watch this in india
when HBO max will be available in middle east?
Anyone else in on the lawsuit against Perdue?
Me
@@NotfromEarth123 I hope you *really* are! If you weren’t in on it over a year back, it’s too late now. & Jsyk, There are actually other (newer) class-action lawsuits happening against manufacturers other than just Perdue now! So prob not too late to join those (considering you were prescribed meds & got them from whatever manufacture it is, of course…I think mallinkrodt was one of them)
I just watched this documentary and it was called “Opioids, Inc”. It was really good and I think it’s on TH-cam. I guess HBO wants to put their spin on it too.
That ones a PBS Frontline Docu - Yeah PBS makes really good Documentaries. But that ones about John Kapoor - he's a small fry compared to the Purdue Family and Purdue Pharma
The more people watch this the better it is. I hope its published on every platform out there!
Everyone must know this!!!
Next they need to address the other crime. Benzodiazepines. Coming off those can be far worse than any opiod. Not saying opiods are not horrificly dangerous as well.
with you on that. and they are being Rxd like candy now.
all fits in one.
The question is "Why aren't the Sackler family of Purdue Therapeutics in the same place as John Kapoor of Insys Therapeutics?"
I think that belongs to Round Up....
So HBO's version of Netflix's The Pharmacist?
HBO’s version of David’s book
I got a buddy cancer doctor who would only give that drug to patents in hospice.
Have not seen the doc yet, but this is also a very huge issue in pro sports specifically the NFL
Stop blaming the pharmaceutical companies. Humans have known for a while now what these pills can do. Most of the young kids that are on them, which makes up most of the abuse cases(not people that got prescribed them then got addicted) are doing them just because it is now the cool thing to do. They listen to Lil Durkio, King Von, Future who promote oxy and percs and try imitate or emulate these rappers.
I feel like I already watched this on Netflix. Maybe I watch too many documentaries/docu-series... 🤦🏾♀️
There's a docuseries on Netflix called the pharmacist that talks about Oxy as well. It's great
@@tracygunit2 oh yes!! That’s where I know this story from. Thank you. I knew I wasn’t trippin’.

Where's Supertramp?
My sister died from her addiction to opioids.
I'm sorry.
My condolences. I lost two cousins and a friend. It has affected so many
Im so sorry 😢 god bless you!
I watched this documentary and what was more shocking is, without the benefit of hindsight, a lot of these "perps" they busted such as the female...
I would have taken the same job as it fit my skillset, when an opportunity like that lands, you will pounce on it, it is legal and it seems nice on the surface.
Of course you only discover what it really is when it is too late.

Just say no, kids!

Purdue family, corporate officers and doctors who knowingly caused the deaths of all these people committed genocide. All of them should have gone to prison for life.
They might get out and do it again
