The Golden Lion-awarded documentary “All the Beauty and Bloodshed” portrays the artist and activist Nan Goldin’s battle against a pharmaceutical company in the USA. Laura Poitras’ film has been widely publicised and will be in cinemas from mid-January – but you can see it before then, on two Saturdays in December at Moderna Museet!

“All the Beauty and the Bloodshed” portrays Nan Goldin’s artistic practice and her fight for justice against the mighty Sackler family for causing a major opioid crisis in the USA, which has earned billions for their corporation Purdue Pharma. How can Nan Goldin stop the art world from accepting Sackler’s blood money and get the family’s name removed from the museum walls?
