The House I Live In



This could possibly the documentary of the year.

Eugene Jarecki looks at the drug problem within the USA and in particular how the governments 'war on drugs' have affected those involved.

Its focus shifts throughout the film, starting with a man looking at how drugs have affected a family friend and ending with David Simon (creator of The Wire) alluding to a form of social cleansing happening within the US.

What happens between will shock and anger you, the political and economical reasons behind certain aspects of the war on drugs is disgraceful and negligent.

With America losing this internal battle is it time for the government to rethink its approach to drugs and drug abuse.
