Plot summary
Americans consume 75% of the world’s prescription drugs. After losing his own brother to the growing epidemic of prescription drug abuse, documentarian Chris Bell sets out to demystify this insidious addiction. Bell’s examination into the motives of big pharma and doctors in this ever-growing market leads him to meet with experts on the nature of addiction, survivors with first-hand accounts of their struggle, and whistleblowers who testify to the dollar-driven aims of pharmaceutical corporations. Ultimately his investigation will point back to where it all began: his own front door.

Just remember, when the American Medical Association went up against the Tobacco industry for selling "addictive and dangerous" substances, originally the American Medical Association (and Big Pharma) wanted Tobacco to be on their prescription list. The AMA wanted the billions from smokers having to get cigs from doctors... they lost that case so attacked. THEY DIN'T DO IT FOR YOUR HEALTH... THEY DID FOR THE MONEY! All this.. is still that.
