All the Beauty and the Bloodshed / 2022 / 1hr&53mins / Rated 18

All the Beauty and the Bloodshed is a rare and powerful documentary that immerses viewers into the life of artist and activist Nan Goldin. Through intimate footage from director Laura Poitas (Citizenfour) and Goldin’s own photography, the film chronicles her personal journey and her crusade against the Sackler family, whose pharmaceutical company Purdue has been linked to the opioid crisis and whose wider influence over galleries and art institutions globally has been a catalyst for conversations around systematic injustice and power inequality. The film captures both the beauty of Goldin’s art and the pain of her past, as well as the power of protest and the fight for justice.
