A documentary movie called "American Drug War" looks at the Drug War. The "war" was started by Nixon 35 years ago and it is responsible for putting over 1 million non-violent criminals in jail. The War on Drugs has become the longest and most costly war in American history.
The Texas filmmaker Kevin Booth sets out to discover why the Drug War has become such a big failure. Most notably the film befriends Freeway Ricky Ross; the man many accuse of starting the Crack epidemic. After being arrested, Ross discovered that his cocaine source had been working for the CIA.
The movie aires on Showtime.
Will this so called war ever end?
