America's "War on Drugs" has accounted for 45 million arrests, made America the world's largest jailer, and damaged poor communities worldwide. And yet, drugs in America are cheaper, purer, and more available today than ever before. Filmed in more than twenty U.S. states, captures heart-wrenching stories at all levels of America's drug war - from the dealer to the grieving mother, the narcotics officer to the senator, the inmate to the federal judge. Together, these stories pose urgent questions: What caused the war? What perpetuates it? And what can be done to stop it?
