Explore the David vs. Goliath battle against the opioid epidemic in this compelling 50-minute talk from The Aspen Institute. Delve into how a small group of determined individuals, armed with principle and limited resources, took on the powerful pharmaceutical industry responsible for the opioid crisis. Learn about the investigative techniques used to expose Purdue Pharma and other culprits, including cultivating whistleblowers and sifting through vast amounts of documentation. Discover how these persistent efforts led to a measure of justice for those harmed by deceptive marketing of dangerously addictive pain medications. Gain insights from speakers Beth Macy, author of "Dopesick," Sari Horwitz, reporter for The Washington Post, and Kate Snow, NBC News anchor and correspondent, as they discuss the power of perseverance in the face of adversaries with seemingly unlimited resources and influence.
