Purdue Pharma’s Secret Files: The Corruption They Tried to Bury | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines a report from the Los Angeles Times detailing the historic lawsuit filed by the city of Everett, Washington, against Purdue Pharma—the manufacturer of OxyContin. Graham breaks down how Purdue Pharma's own internal security and investigative teams tracked corrupt doctors and black-market trafficking rings supplying criminal gangs (such as the Crips) with massive quantities of prescription opioids while withholding vital data from law enforcement. He discusses the devastating opioid epidemic ravaging American communities, corporate immunity, the influence of pharmaceutical advertising on network news, and why local legal action is vital for holding big pharma accountable.
