American Drug War: The Last White Hope (Trailer)

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.

Look, I'm 16 y/o, I'm not an expert when it comes to running a country, but this is MY opinion. I'm not a regular drug user but I still this whole drug war is ridiculous.

Why do we take history class people? TO LEARN FROM THAT PAST & NOT REPEAT MISTAKES. What are we doing here? REPEATING MISTAKES.

[NeoOneOrg]

Why are we treating people who have been injured by the government like this, these wars on words are insane man like the war on Terrorism where did it go now? Why is Obama being a real man and showing dead soldiers again which George 1 stopped; these doctrines are for socialistic reform, caused effect in addiction forming need to more government controlled tjhrough corportate structure leading to the eventual collapse of this country

There is no such thing in america as a TRUE WAR ON Drugs. Smoke and mirrors folks, it's called "Population Control". How long has this whole war on drugs been going on for now and it will continue on going forward with not much changing about it. If we're told there's a difference being made, there probably isn't. It's ALWAYS been and ALWAYS will be here.

i think its called white hope ironically, but not because of the white race but cocaine, see, in the beginning you see "last white hope" fade away like dust>>>meaning cocaine, but thats just my opinion I MIGHT BE WRONG :)

fuck sake you yanks could do with taking on glasgows drug policy. get caught with small ammounts of green-you get a fine.if you get caught with say,a kilo of green,you will get a few months inside.get caught with an ounce of coke,you will get a few months inside at most.fuck me,my neighbour got caught with250 000 pounds worth of smack,got 7 years in jail,out in 3 and a half for good behaviour.

your gov goes well overboard.the "war on drugs" has done nothing but wasted taxpayers cash,what a joke

[Fishdogpigsquirrel]

You know those "evil" countries that the media always talks so much about? A country that is corrupt and violent and you are taught throughout your life to hate unconditionally? Well, the thing this country does not have in common is that its people ignore this fact and that this country is the most powerful one in the world.

PS- Calling someone a fag is less racist than 'white hope'? Well aren't you king shit of turd island.? You have it ass-backwards, my friend. Get educated. I'll school you on US history & some grammer, G money. You are a racist jack ass.. Have fun dropping Jews While the black race destroys each other. * Spits in your ignorant face*

[FattyArbuckle1981]

@IdropJewsonU: You seem like the most racist MF in here. It's called 'the last white hope' Ironically. As whites, we are admitting our faults & accepting the blame. It's us using blacks for our gain. Ignorant fuck. Learn the definition of racism before you go ranting.. Black pride is cool, but anyone with white pride is 'racist'.? It's a double standard that's thrown around, more so by blacks IMO.

im 16 and i love weed, but I never used to be like that, you have to understand that when you grow up in a world with poliece officers and teachers, people you are supposto trust all telling you one thing, its hard for people to understand they have been lied to their whole life. Its important for the people who know the truth to tell other people and help them understand, you cant make anyone listen by just yelling at them. weed is love so lets stop the anger once and for all
