The Oxycontin scandle (not the same topic) involves a few companies in US states that are ALWAYS pill mill states. I live in Australia where we have a tiny Opiod Crisis by comparison. If your nation does not have a southern border with Mexico (ie, you are not from the USA) then your nation has had a dramatically smaller Opiod Crisis. The biggest problem in the actual Opiod Crisis (aside from it being used for politics) comes from the massive amount of black market Chinese Fentanyl analogues coming over the southern border of the USA (a border with almost no border security). The Oxycontin scandle is an entirely different scandle. So this is about as accurate as Reefer Madness or Narnia. The opiod crisis is not about pain medication at all which is the basis of the entire film. This is what you get when your corporate press sources no longer hire fact checkers. Nearly all of them did this, echoing the claims of other sources while checking no facts. The idea of a movie conflating the two isn't surprising considering how many (respected) US press sources printed stories on the Opiod Crises that conflated the two. The Oxycontin scandal is the one with the corporate criminals. A fact that has been published a lot by scientists and doctors - and barely mentioned by the mainstream press The movie conflates the Opiod Crisis with the Oxycontin scams in the USA which is unfortunately very common to do. That means that 0% of the crisis is from prescription medications. The Opiod Crisis is made up of 80% Chinese black market fentanyl analogues & 20% black market heroin. This film is based on War on Drugs propaganda out of the US yellow press (and of course by American propaganda groups like Partnership for a Drug Free America).
