This documentary about the oxycontin epidemic was frustrating - really well made and really thought provoking, but skipping past some of the most interesting conversations between Dr. Hurwitz and his family, which the filmmakers clearly had on film.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
