Did prosecutors miss an opportunity to sound the alarm on opioid abuse over a decade ago? In 2007, the Justice Department had a chance to hold drug company executives accountable for the escalating opioid epidemic, yet at the last minute the charges were watered down. In the years since, the opioid epidemic has claimed tens of thousands of lives. A New York Times investigation tells what happened inside the Department of Justice. Reporter: Barry Meier; Producer/Director: John Pappas.
