Film: Crime of the Century – Sunday, November 14 @ 4 PM
In collaboration with Blossom Sustainable Development and Shinnecock Nation, SAC will screen The Crime of the Century. This is a searing indictment of Big Pharma and the political operatives and government regulations that enable over-production, reckless distribution, and mass abuse of synthetic opiates. Exploring the origins, extent, and fallout of one of the most devastating public health tragedies of our time, with half a million deaths from overdoses this century alone, the film reveals that America’s opioid epidemic is not a public health crisis that came out of nowhere.

Following an unprecedented year of COVID-19, political divide, racial and social strife, and injustice, CLEARING THE AIR examines the healing and transformative power of the arts. This thoughtful exhibition will feature regional and national artists who turned to the arts to overcome health and personal challenges, and those who regularly work in the healing art space.
