Film Synopsis
As America remains embroiled in conflict overseas, a less visible war is
taking place at home, costing countless lives, destroying families, and
inflicting untold damage on future generations of Americans. Over forty
years, the War on Drugs has accounted for more than 45 million arrests,
made America the world's largest jailer, and damaged poor communities at
home and abroad. Yet for all that, drugs are cheaper, purer, and more
available today than ever before. Filmed in more than twenty states, The
House I Live In captures heart-wrenching stories from individuals at all
levels of America's War on Drugs. From the dealer to the grieving
mother, the narcotics officer to the senator, the inmate to the federal
judge, the film offers a penetrating look inside America's longest war,
offering a definitive portrait and revealing its profound human rights
implications.
