How to Fix a Drug Scandal

Two Massachusetts drug-test lab techs face charges for tampering with evidence and lying about it. Prosecutors aren't revealing all the details of their misconduct.

In 2013, Massachusetts State Police arrested a 35-year-old crime drug lab chemist named Sonja Farak for tampering with evidence. This was just the beginning as details emerged that Farak had been using drugs while performing her duties. Did anyone know what was happening? When did they find out? The extent of Farak's addiction and the number of people convicted due to her testing have come to light despite attempts to suppress evidence in the case. This four-part docuseries directed by Erin Lee Carr (Mommy Dead and Dearest, Dirty Money) explores an essential but often overlooked aspect of the criminal justice system. We hear from Farak's family for the first time as we re-visit her compelling grand jury testimony and speak with attorneys and experts. The series delves deep into how one employee's actions can impact thousands of lives.
