The Hulu miniseries ‘Dopesick’ attempts to tell stories about the U.S. opioid crisis, taking viewers into coal mines of Appalachia and executive suites at pharmaceutical giants
LOS ANGELES, Oct 12 - New television series "Dopesick" aims to tell stories from the opioid epidemic still ravaging the rural United States, weaving together accounts from Purdue Pharma board members, prescription drugs salespeople, victims and government officials.
Michael Keaton plays a small town doctor cajoled into prescribing OxyContin, made by Purdue, to the miners in his town."People seemed to be, while they're watching it, realizing, 'Wait, this actually happened and is happening' and that's one of the really cool things about this particular series," Keaton said.
Originally intended as a feature film, creator Danny Strong felt there were too many untold stories to fit into a two-hour window and decided on a mini-series instead. "All of it was so important to me because I knew I was not only representing Betsy as a character and as a woman, but her character represents many victims and what they go through," Dever said.
