The House I Live In

This compelling documentary delves into the complexities of the War on Drugs, shedding light on its far-reaching consequences over the past four decades. With a staggering number of 45 million arrests, this global crusade has transformed America into the world's largest imprisonment nation, while unintentionally contributing to the decay and disintegration of underprivileged communities both domestically and internationally. Contrary to its objectives, the War on Drugs paradoxically finds illicit substances becoming cheaper, purer, and more accessible than ever before. The film explores this baffling paradox by questioning our strategies, policies, and moral compass in the fight against drugs, encouraging viewers to critically reassess the approach taken in combating a problem that has seemingly spiraled out of control.
