Each year, 75,000 Americans die from an overdose of addictive, pain-relieving drugs, the so-called opioids.
‘All the Beauty and the Bloodshed’ draws an intimate portrait of the uncompromising photo artist Nan Goldin, who today fights as activist in order for the pharmaceutical dynasty The Sackler Family to be held accountable for its role in the opioid epidemic.
Goldin (b. 1953) broke through with his skinless photographs of gay and transgender subcultures in Boston and New York in the 1970s and 80s and today hangs in the world’s leading museums – museums that receive generous donations from, among others, The Sackler Family.
The film focuses on Goldin’s fierce battle against Sackler. But at the same time, it unfolds a story about the journey from an insecure childhood to a limitless artistic life. The uncovering of the devastating social problem is thus provided with a personal story about family relationships, abuse, love and art.
The film won the Golden Lion in Venice in 2022 and was nominated for an Oscar in 2023.
Director: Laura Poitras
USA 2022. DCP. 122min. English dialogue with Danish subtitles. With Nan Goldin, David Velasco, Megan Kapler, Marina Berio.
