ABOUT THE FILM:

Shot over three years, SHUFFLE follows three individuals whose lives depend not on entering treatment, but on getting out alive. The film exposes the insurance-fueled cycle of addiction treatment fraud that’s spreading across the country. Using his own experience as a guide, the filmmaker narrates personal stories that serve as a framework for a broader investigation. With the help of an FBI informant, an insurance analyst, and the former executive director of a Philadelphia-based treatment facility, SHUFFLE uncovers a web of public policy and private interests preying on a vulnerable population for profit.
