For a minute, I did. You're fucking with some really powerful people. So at first, I didn't, right? It's like people say, well, when you went to Iraq, were you scared? And I said, well, not really, because there were 20 Navy SEALs around me all the time, and I felt pretty safe. When I got back and I kind of really looked at the map and figured out, I felt a little more nervous.

But in the moment, I didn't feel nervous. Probably should have felt a little more nervous, but I felt very safe with the guys. The Sacklers, at first I'm like, well, yeah, these guys are fucking scumbags. Fuck them. Let's make a movie and let's tell the truth. You know, I have friends that have died from drug addiction and I don't give a fuck and let's go. I'm not scared.

The more research I did, the more nervous I got because they're just like, these are like real mobsters. These are the real Pablo Escobars, the real drug dealers that are putting up numbers much larger than the Medellin cocaine cartels, the companies like Purdue and the Sackler family. So the more I learned about just how powerful and quiet they were, And what kind of masterminds at secrecy?

Like you still, if you try and, you know, search Richard Sackler, they're so fucking scrubbed that you'll get virtually nothing on them. And they just constantly cycle that. And I don't still, I've yet to find anyone who's better scrubbed as far as, you know, internet than Richard Sackler, you know, the kingpin of the Sackler family. But so the more I learned, the more nervous I got.

And there was a moment where I was literally paranoid and I'm like checking my back and like making sure doors are locked and, you know, having access to security if I felt threatened. And then I realized, like, if they want to get me, they're going to get me.

And kind of by the time we really got going, the wave was really getting big and people were finally starting to say the name Sackler and realize just how... dirty and corrupt this family was. And I felt a little, I think all of us involved felt at least secure in that, like, it was so public at this point that if they did come after us, everyone was going to know.
