The first official trailer from the long awaited "AMERICAN DRUG WAR" from sacredcow-com
35 years after Nixon started the war on drugs, we have over one million non-violent drug offenders living behind bars.The War on Drugs has become the longest and most costly war in American history, the question has become, how much more can the country endure? Inspired by the death of four family members from "legal drugs" Texas filmmaker Kevin Booth sets out to discover why the Drug War has become such a big failure. Three and a half years in the making, the film follows gang members, former DEA agents, CIA officers, narcotics officers, judges, politicians, prisoners and celebrities. Most notably the film befriends Freeway Ricky Ross; the man many accuse for starting the Crack epidemic, who after being arrested discovered that his cocaine source had been working for the CIA.AMERICAN DRUG WAR shows how money, power and greed have corrupted not just drug pushers and dope fiends, but an entire government. More importantly, it shows what can be done about it. This is not some 'pro-drug' stoner film, but a collection of expert testimonials from the ground troops on the front lines of the drug war, the ones who are fighting it and the ones who are living it.After 4 years of production including several sold out test screenings in New York, Austin & Los Angeles, the final version of American Drug War "the last white hope" is locked and loaded.
in your more info box change one million non-violent drug offenders living behind bars to three to four million non-violent drug offenders livivg behind bars,,That a very old nunber! Thank you!
I tried to submit American Drug War to the Ann Arbor Film Festival, however they declined it. The film must have been too hardcore for their acceptance in the festival! I sent them a self addressed stamped envelope to return the film back to me and to this day, I have not got it back!!! The fest is over, so SOMEONE over there must really like it!!! This is one hell of a film and EVERYONE needs to see it! GREAT JOB KEVIN AND TRAE!!!
I am very happy to know you are making or have made a documentary about the drug czar in America. I am an avid Bill Hicks listener and I was appointed to you through his talent and success. I will look forward to watching the documentary in full. I am also an avid Alex Jones listener. :)
