Description:

Nan Goldin: An Unflinching Portrait explores the tumultuous life of an artist and activist whose work has left a lasting impact on both photography and social justice movements. Known for her candid, personal photography, Goldin shares her own struggles with addiction, love, and loss through a series of slideshows that capture not only her artistic journey but also her intimate encounters with the world around her. The documentary delves into Goldin's relentless fight against the Sackler family, the billionaire pharmaceutical dynasty implicated in the opioid epidemic that has devastated countless lives. Through rare footage and candid interviews, the film sheds light on Goldin's resilience, her unapologetic approach to art-making, and her fierce dedication to exposing the truth behind a powerful family's role in the overdose crisis. With its blend of visual storytelling and raw emotional honesty, Nan Goldin: An Unflinching Portrait offers an unforgettable look at one woman's courageous quest for justice and self-discovery.
