American Drug War: The Last White Hope: Pre Release Cut

American Drug War
The Last White Hope




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.

If there was any justice, Barry McCaffrey deserves to be hung from the highest pole in the land, everyone involved in the CIA's poisoning of LA does. All drugs should be legal.

Arpaio is the dumbest nazi I've ever seen, he's as anti-America as human beings come. Go ahead and read the 4th Amendment, Joe, ya fucking idiot. "Right to be secure in their persons, papers, and effects..." Drugs = "effects." Drugs = property (in a free country). In a slave state, people are treated as incapable of taking responsibility for their own recreational drug use.

Joe Arpaio is a brainless nazi to be able to read freedom lover Richard Mack's book, and misinterpret it to believe it expands government power. His grotesque expansion of unconstitutional government is totally un-American. He's the closest thing the USA has to a real Nazi. Joe is like all law enforcement: too stupid to name the two elements of a legitimate cause of action, or "corpus delecti." They get people too dumb to read the constitution to enforce the laws.
