The worst of which comes from\u00a0<strong>Alec Burlakoff<\/strong>, the former VP of sales for Insys, a defunct opioid manufacturer, who at the beginning of the trailer, remorselessly says, \u201cYou can make a lot of money getting doctors to prescribe a medication to people who don\u2019t need it. The doctor\u2014he\u2019s a businessman. I gotta show him the WIFM: what\u2019s in it for me? \u2026It\u2019s about you prescribing the medication and me paying you as a direct result. Are you in or are you out?\u201d All this over footage of pills, cash, and body bags.<\/p>\n<p>Produced in association with\u00a0<em>The Washington Post<\/em>,\u00a0<em>The Crime of the Century<\/em>\u00a0features interviews with medical professionals, insiders, and victims of opioid addiction. One of the first patients who was prescribed OxyContin,\u00a0<strong>Gary Blinn<\/strong>\u00a0describes how a Purdue Pharma representative told him to take as much OxyContin as he needed. \u201cIt would take me 15 minutes just to eat \u2018em all,\u201d Blinn says in the trailer. \u201cIt was like sitting down to a bowl of Cheerios.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gibney is no stranger to controversial topics, having tackled Scientology, U.S. torture in Afghanistan, and another corporate scandal,\u00a0<em><strong>Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room<\/strong><\/em>, which won him an Oscar nomination in 2006.
