clip was from a new hbo documentary series called "crime of the century" directed and produced by alex gibneys the story that you're working on is in the past. in this case, it's not. the opioid epidemic is back with us after it felt right before the pandemic like we actually made some progress in weaning people off these remarkably dangerous drugs. >> you're right. the opioid epidemic is sadly still with us and the documentary seeks to understand why that is. both a look at the origins of the epidemic and on going status. >> let's talk about what happened here. there was an idea we weren't as good as we could have been in the medical community dealing with chronic people. lots of people have legitimate reasons to need chronic pain medication. not everybody that gets a drug for chronic pain becomes addicted to it and abuses it. there was something about the way these drugs were made, marketed, encouraged and distributed that the drug companies should have seen and should have realized and frankly encouraged that caused the abuse of what could have been very important drugs for some people. >>

the two-part documentary is directed by emmy and award award winner alex gibney who joins us now. in this. we've covered the opioid epidemic at length and we've seen it firsthand in our lives. but what do we learn here maybe about the crime that started it all. >> yeah, you know, i embarked on this project because it seemed to me that the opioid crisis wasn't being framed properly. it was being framed as a natural disaster, oh, this is terrible. it is happening and all of these people are dying of overdoses. what could we do. it is like a hurricane or a flood. what interested me about this is discovering how the crisis was purposefully manufactured by companies looking to make a profit. and yet when i looked at it even more deeply, it is easy to say perdue pharma which really lit the match that started the forest fire is hugely responsible and that is true. but it is a little bit like the agatha christy book "a murder on the orient express", when you're looking for one culprit, you realize there were many and there were pharmacy, bad doctors, the department of justice, all conspir
