“We have to bring down the Sackler family!” yells noted photographer and former Oxycontin addict Nia Goldin, leading a protest in New York. “They should be in jail next to El Chapo.” The Sackler family has made its $13 billion fortune from the profits of Oxycontin. The opioid painkiller is highly addictive and has been linked to the crisis of addiction across the US. In the heartlands of the crisis in West Virginia, entire communities have been devastated. “That drug just about wiped this county out. It was so powerful,” says local sheriff Martin West. The sheriff estimates more than a fifth of his county is now addicted to opioids, heroin, ice or alcohol. “It was so addictive, and they knew that, pharmaceuticals knew that.” The addiction crisis is now spreading west. “There are more injecting drug users in San Francisco – about 25,000 - than there are high school students,” says a furious city attorney Dennis Herrera, who is behind one of the large class action lawsuits against Purdue and the Sacklers. San Fran is now joining 1,600 other cities and counties in suing Perdue Pharma and eight Sackler family members who profit from the company. Standing before a packed hall of wealthy donors, ex-Oxycontin addict Patrick Kennedy, son of the late Senator Edward Kennedy rails against the family that has brought America to its knees: “We’re going to get a tobacco-sized verdict against Purdue Pharma.”
