DOPESICK
Authentic and gritty, this series follows the
people in an Appalachian community aff ected
by the opioid epidemic and exposes the inner
workings of the pharmaceutical company that
aggressively marketed OxyContin. From deep
in the Virginia coal mines to the high-tech
boardrooms of Purdue Pharma in New York, the
story comes to life in the modest homes and
mountain towns of the drug's earliest victims.
Ground Zero in the epidemic, Richmond and
the Central Virginia region tell their own tragic
story from the point of view of users, corporate
pushers, dealers and the government agents
who fought big pharma.

INVENTING ANNA
The true story of Anna "Delvey" Sorokin, the fake
heiress who swindled her way to the top of New
York high society takes us to extravagant locales
in NYC and Paris, a lavish hotel in Marrakesh and
a yacht off the coast of Ibiza. Filmed in Morocco,
New York and Los Angeles, locations show the
upscale lifestyle Anna aspired to and the dark
government courtrooms and notorious Rikers
Prison where her clever schemes eventually
land her. A small market town fi lmed near
Berlin evokes her family's humble backstory as
Russian immigrants in Germany, and the more
modest digs and working offi ces of an influential
magazine describe the world of the reporter who
breaks Anna's story.
STATION ELEVEN
We follow survivors of a virus that quickly
decimates the world's population—from the
traumatic event and its aftermath. From locations
in Chicago, we witness "the before" during a
production of
King Lear staged in the heart of
the theater district, to a frantic shopping spree
in a southside grocery store and a top floor of a
glass condo to watch the chaos and ruin of the
city below in the "after." Twenty years later, a
caravan of actors and musicians travel the route
outside Chicago, along Lake Michigan—but fi lmed
in towns in and around Toronto and the shores
of Lake Ontario in Canada—to entertain evolved
communities that have made former airports
and golf resorts their home. Lyrical, poetic and
compelling, the locations beautifully imagine this
post-apocalyptic world where art and theater
endure.
