Movie Review - American Drug War

American Drug War is a documentary that goes deeper into the lives of drug dealers and corrupted government officials. Director Kevin Booth interviews Ricky Ross (the original one, not the fat hairy rapper), sherifs, former DEA officials and incorporates anecdotes from his own life to tell a tale of drug use in this country. It depicts drug prisons as slave camps and king pin dealers as pawns in a large game of drug chess.
Booth paints the clear picture that what ever side of the drug war people are on on, a majority of people are in it for money.
I couldn't find my favorite clip (naked man in a restaurant high off sherm) but below is a clip of a sherif in Arizona who is adamant on ending drug usage in his state.
