This is what documentaries should be like. It does not gloss over things. Nan Goldin shows herself to be a formidable woman not only because of her fight against the Sackler family who made the prescription drugs that she became addicted to but because of the life that she had beforehand. And what a life it was. She had abusive relationships, funded her photography through being a sex worker and looked after her friends through AIDS. She came from a very unstable background but came over as being a really down to earth person. She managed, through her campaigning to get her message across about the fact that prescription drugs can be addictive.
