All die Schönheit und das Blutvergießen - Film in voller Länge | ARTE

Nan Goldin kämpft mit Kunst und Protest gegen die Sacklers – jene Pharma-Familie, die mit dem Schmerzmittel OxyContin die verheerende Opioid-Krise in den USA mitverursachte. Die Fotografin war selbst nach einem Unfall abhängig geworden. Laura Poitras preisgekrönter Dokumentarfilm zeigt, wie persönlicher Schmerz zu erfolgreichem politischem Widerstand werden kann.

I somehow missed the sentence in the article that mentioned how many #Sacklers are going to prison. What was that number?

After years of litigation that delayed payments designed to combat the national opioid crisis, Purdue Pharma and the billionaire Sackler family who own it agreed to pay $7.4 billion to settle lawsuits over the opioid manufacturer’s role in the crisis and give up their company ownership #opioid #Drugs #Sacklers #overdosecrisis #overdose #deaths https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/health/sacklers-purdue-settlement-opioids.html

Sacklers Up Their Offer to Settle Purdue Opioids Cases, With a New Condition

A group of 15 states have reached a tentative new deal that would require them to set aside hundreds of millions of dollars from the settlement in a legal-defense fund for the family.

Even though this settlement deal represents nearly 2/3 of the Sackler's wealth, they will still be billionaires.

Purdue Pharma, Sackler family members reach new opioid settlement

Members of the Sackler family who own OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma, and the company itself, agreed to pay up to $7.4 billion to settle lawsuits over the toll of the powerful prescription painkiller. The deal announced Thursday represents an increase over a previous settlement deal. The earlier one was rejected last year by the U.S. Supreme Court. The court ruled the earlier version improper because it protected members of the wealthy family from civil lawsuits over OxyContin — even though the family members themselves were not in bankruptcy. Besides this deal, there have been about $50 billion in opioid settlements announced in recent years.

And billionaire philanthropy is so performative—their names are ALWAYS emblazoned on the buildings (e.g. the #Sacklers), charitable foundations (#BillGates has entered the chat), and press releases announcing their good deeds. True philanthropy is humble, elevating the recipient, not the donor. #JimmyCarter is a great example.
