Summary
For over 40 years, the War on Drugs has accounted for more than 45 million arrests, made America the world's largest jailer, and damaged poor communities. Yet for all that, drugs are cheaper, purer, and more available today than ever before. Where did we go wrong and what is the path toward healing? This documentary goes inside America's longest war to examine the effects of drug laws on everyone from the dealer and the grieving mother to the jailer and the federal judge.
