Drug Wars: The Rise and Fall of the World's Largest Cartels
The international 'war on drugs' seems to be a ceaseless battle, with no good end in sight. While various governments purport to be combatting drug trafficking, the spin they're dishing out is usually somewhere between a lie and a cover-up. This documentary exposes the fallacies, delving into the culture of drugs in various lands, and showing how this criminal trade sometimes supports entire communities, bringing with it the inherent violence and corruption of an illegal enterprise.
