Every now and then a great documentary is released which captures the greatness of one man up against the world fighting for change. It’s even more rare to see true grit at work that results in real change.

The Netflix Original 4-Part Documentary, The Pharmacist, tells a tight compelling story of one man who saw the opioid crisis simmering almost a decade before boiling over.

“WARNING: 4hrs of your life are about to be consumed immediately upon pressing play - but don’t worry, it will be worth it!”

In 1999, after losing his son in a drug-related shooting in New Orleans and lacking answers from police, a small town pharmacist - Dan Schneider - beats the odds when he embarks on a dogged pursuit to find and bring his son’s killer to justice. But months later, the ripple effects of his son’s addiction and tragic death would find him again when a troubling number of young, seemingly healthy people begin visiting Dan’s pharmacy with high dose prescriptions for OxyContin. Sensing a crisis long before the opioid epidemic had gained nationwide attention, Dan stakes a mission: Save the lives of other sons and daughters within his community. Then take the fight to Big Pharma itself.
