“Almost biblical in its depiction of well-intended policies being corrupted by human avarice.”
““...inherently shattering and enraging.””

SYNOPSIS
Filmed over the course of three years, SHUFFLE follows three individuals whose lives depend not on getting into treatment, but on getting out alive, and in the process, shines a light on the insurance-fueled cycle of addiction treatment fraud spreading across the country. With the filmmaker serving as narrator, using his own experience as a roadmap, these personal stories provide the framework for a public investigation with the help of an FBI informant, an insurance analyst and the former Executive Director of a Philadelphia-based treatment facility. SHUFFLE unravels a web of public policy and private interest preying on a vulnerable population for the sake of profit.
