Docudrama tells the story of two rogue forensic lab chemists whose separate crimes led to a massive miscarriage of justice in Massachusetts

How to Fix a Drug Scandal tells the sordid tale of how two chemists at different state crime labs in Massachusetts were arrested just months apart for tampering with drug evidence, sending shockwaves through the US criminal justice system. The show reconstructs the cases of Annie Dookhan and Sonja Farak who were taken into custody in September 2012 and January 2013, respectively. Both already served their prison sentences. The docudrama spins a story that took years to uncover and sort out, showing of how much damage rogue chemists can inflict.
