Has America's War on Drugs Failed? Swat Raids and Life Sentences

This documentary argues that America's war on drugs has failed, with usage undiminished and illegal drugs cheaper and more available than ever. It weighs the staggering cost of prohibition against its meager results, from SWAT raids to long prison sentences. Through data and human stories it questions decades of policy. It is a hard-hitting watch on crime, punishment and a war that many believe cannot be won. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
