American Pain

2022TV-MA105 min7.4/10

This fast-paced true crime documentary traces the rise and fall of Chris and Jeff George, identical twin brothers believed to be America’s most prolific opioid kingpins. From 2007 to 2011, the Florida-based brothers created one of the nation’s largest pill mill empires, attracting clients from around the country and spawning a prescription drug trafficking network with an estimated value of more than $500 million. Weaving together hundreds of hours of wiretap recordings, undercover videos, and exclusive jailhouse interviews with the twins themselves, American Pain exposes how the pharmaceutical industry fueled an epidemic by pumping out billions of highly addictive pills and how the Georges’ tangled web of corruption and violence led to the ruin of scores of lives, including their own.
