In my opinion, most documentaries, regardless of how they are presented, can't really give a totally fair and unbiased view of the given topic. I've noticed that a lot of them are usually presented by people who've had a personal experience with the given topic and that experience almost always sets the tone of the film. As long as you realize this as a viewer, then you can ignore most of the 'flaws' in the film itself and be able to grasp the main theme(s).
Having said that, this is one of the best documentaries on the so called drug war in America that I've seen in years...mainly because of its attempted scope, the tying together of several unrelated happenings that seems to point to the same ends, the number of interviews with a good cross section of people who were involved in the drug business, and the timing...if you believe the statement that Nixon started the latest 'war on drugs' in the 1970s (there were other 'war on drugs' campaigns, like the prohibition on alcohol from the 1920s), then the war has been going on long enough for people to be able to step back and take a really good look at what has happened...and where is it going.
This documentary made me think not only about the present 'war on drugs' that our government is conducting, but how this war can affect other areas of one's life that I previously thought were unrelated to the whole money machine that modern drugs have created (check out the reference to 9/11 made by one of Ricky ...

American Drug War: The Last White Hope I think most of us at some point in our lives have heard at least a rumor or two about our Federal governments' shady operations. American Drug War puts everything in a very clear picture into one provoking package. This is in no way a "stoner" movie rather this is a documentary on the history of our governments continued atrocious control over us to the detriment of all Americans not financially wealthy. Every American is impacted by the "war on drugs" regardless of whether or not they use legal drugs (including alcohol, tobacco, and prescription meds), illegal drugs, or none at all. I hope that people who claim to have an open mind watch this and see for themselves what's truly going on. As a very proud American it saddens me to learn that the biggest threat to our nation is our own government's greed. Thank you Kevin Booth for your diligence in working to bring this information to us.

The propaganda statements and/or slogans regarding highly volatile issues of great public concern today, such as the war on drugs, are often semantically designed to promote a point of view on the basis of their emotional impact rather than logic. While this is certainly a valuable tool for the attitudinal manipulation of the less enlightened masses, who will eagerly parrot these messages as being representative of authoritative wisdom, they are often, in fact, nothing more than a simplistic panacean smoke screen that serves to obviate a realistic examination of the complex issues involved, by fostering unreasoned opinion. This film is highly recommended to anyone wanting to gain a realistic understanding of the drug war in America.
