A look into the U.S. war on drugs

KBIA

A documentary film called The House I Live In takes a critical and comprehensive look at the 40- year war on drugs in the United States. 

The House I Live In, directed by Eugene Jarecki, was named the best documentary at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. The judges called it "the definitive film on the failure of America’s drug war." To learn more about the film, and the origin and impact of the war on drugs, Global Journalist spoke to the producer of The House I Live In, Melinda Shopsin.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f83BwfKA8c4
