“The House I Live In”: New Film Exposes Economic, Moral Failure of US War on Drugs. 2 of 2
democracynow.org – This weekend the top documentary prize at the Sundance Film Festival went to “The House I Live In,” which questions why the United States has spent more than trillion on drug arrests in the past 40 years, and yet drugs are cheaper, purer, and more available today than ever. The film examines the economic, as well as the moral and practical, failures of the so-called “war on drugs,” and calls on the United States to approach drug abuse not as a “war,” but as a matter of public health. We need “a very changed dialogue in this country that understands drugs as a public health concern and not a criminal justice concern,” says the film’s Director Eugene Jarecki. “That means the system has to say, ‘We were wrong.'” We also speak with Nannie Jeter, who helped raise Jarecki as her own son succumbed to drug addiction and is highlighted in the film. We air clips from the film, featuring Michelle Alexander, author of “The New Jim Crow;” Canadian physician and bestselling author, Gabor Maté; and David Simon, creator of “The Wire.” Watch Part 1 of 2: youtu.be To watch the complete daily, independent news hour, read the transcript, download the podcast, and for the additional Democracy Now! reports on the Occupy Wall Street movement, visit www.democracynow.org FOLLOW DEMOCRACY NOW!
