  Considered one of the most important living photographers in the United States, Nan Goldin founded the activist group PAIN in 2017 with the aim of pressuring museums and art institutions to sever their ties with the Sackler family, owners of the pharmaceutical company responsible for producing OxyContin, while also exposing their role in the epidemic that ravaged the United States and claimed the lives of 600,000 people.

  Golden Lion in Venice and Oscar nominee for Best Documentary Feature, Academy Award-winning filmmaker Laura Poitras' All the Beauty and the Bloodshed explores the life of Nan Goldin, her work as a counterculture photographer, and her activism. The film also delves into the unchecked influence of power.
