Journalist Patrick Radden Keefe tells the story of the Sacklers, one of the richest families in the world, revealing the history of corruption, pain, and exploitation lurking behind their generous philanthropic donations.

The Sackler name can be seen in the most prestigious galleries and institutions in the world; from the Guggenheim Museum in New York City and the Louvre in Paris to the universities of Harvard and Oxford.

The financial contributions the Sacklers have made to the arts and sciences are impressive, but beneath their philanthropic investments lies a much darker story.

The origins of the Sacklers' fortune and the role the family played in the opioid crisis can't be ignored.

Investigative journalist and author Patrick Radden Keefe uncovers three generations of the Sackler family, charting their economic rise, their interpersonal relationships, and the decisions they made that irrevocably changed and destroyed the lives of millions.
