In Your Best Interest

An Investigative Documentary Series | Completion Fundraising Campaign

In Your Best Interest is an investigative documentary series exposing the systemic corruption within America's multibillion-dollar drug and alcohol treatment industry and the devastating consequences for individuals and families seeking help.

At the center of the series is "The Shuffle," a disturbing network of patient brokers, rehabilitation facilities, and sober living homes where vulnerable individuals are recruited, exploited, and repeatedly cycled through treatment, often for financial gain. Through exclusive footage, firsthand accounts from survivors and whistleblowers, and interviews with federal investigators, law enforcement, and industry insiders, the series exposes how a system designed to save lives has, in some cases, become one that profits from human suffering.

Produced in partnership with WVE Productions, the company behind Netflix's #1 documentary series Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult, the project has been supported by $260,000 in personal investment from director and producer Cara Santana Leto, alongside $250,000 in grant funding. With principal photography largely complete, we are raising a final $150,000 to complete editing and post-production and prepare the series for distribution.

For Cara, who has been sober for 22 years, this project is deeply personal. Beyond exposing wrongdoing, In Your Best Interest aims to empower families and young people seeking treatment with greater awareness, create accountability, and inspire meaningful reform within an industry desperately in need of oversight.

We have lost far too many lives to a system that was supposed to save them. Through investigative storytelling, we hope to help protect those still seeking recovery, give a voice to those who have been failed, and contribute to meaningful change that can ultimately save lives.
