"Anonymous Sister" is a searing and deeply personal documentary directed by Jamie Boyle, delving into the opioid crisis through the lens of her relationship with her sister Jordan, who battled addiction. Through a combination of home videos, interviews, and archival footage, Boyle chronicles the rise of the crisis and exposes the manipulation and greed behind it.

The film humanizes the epidemic, highlighting how ordinary people are drawn into addiction due to a broken healthcare system and the corrupt practices of Purdue Pharma. Boyle's use of personal storytelling and juxtaposition of media coverage with intimate moments creates a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of a crisis that has shattered countless lives.
