The war on drugs has never been about drugs.

Documentary

In the past 40 years, the War on Drugs has accounted for 45 million arrests, made America the world's largest jailer, and destroyed impoverished communities at home and abroad. Yet drugs are cheaper, purer, and more available today than ever. Where did we go wrong?

VIBE

This documentary feels like a stark, unflinching look at a broken system. It's a sobering and infuriating examination of the War on Drugs, leaving you with a sense of urgent, critical awareness about its devastating impact.
