The filmmaker (‘Citizenfour’) explains how the production brought cameras into some of the world’s major museums to film protests and why she thinks “we should all be questioning” the Purdue Pharma and Sackler family settlement.
With the film, released by Neon on Nov. 23, Poitras trains her camera on the life, art and activism of artist Nan Goldin, the photographer who has leveraged her acclaim to pressure major museums to refuse further funding from the Sackler family, who Goldin argues are responsible for the opioid crisis. With her activist group P.A.I.N.
, Goldin — once addicted to OxyContin — staged “die-ins” and protests at institutions including The Met, the Guggenheim and the Louvre against the family, the owners of OxyContin producer Purdue Pharma and longtime donors to museums and universities. Starting in 2019, museums began to refuse donations by the Sacklers, and institutions like The Met, the Tate Modern and the Louvre removed the family’s name from exhibitions.
