If you’ve ever wondered about the failed, resource-sucking drug war (or you thought we were “doing the right thing”), do yourself a favor buy a ticket for this weekend’s theatrical opening here in the USA. Or, if you’re not in one of these locations (or not in the USA), it’s available for streaming/download on iTunes HERE.
From the IFC: “Subversive and satirical, this documentary offers a fresh take on a serious subject. Through investigative reporting and surprising interviews with subjects ranging from Susan Sarandon to Eminem and Russell Simmons, it illustrates step-by-step how to create a drug empire, from dealing on the corner to running a major cartel. Laying bare the inequities in the legal system and the ways that criminalization breeds violence, the film builds a powerful case for radically rethinking drug policy.” This fresh look explores the rise of actual drug dealers and exposes a $400 billion dollar industry that our government [and many governments worldwide] is happy to keep intact.

Thanks for spreading the word for Adrian and yours truly. Any word of mouth/posts/social is greatly appreciated. Together we can shed some light on a dark corner of the world.
[You might remember Adrian’s guest appearance on cjLIVE last April. Some great insight into the entertainment industry and what it means to be a creative in Hollywood. Well worth the [re]watch —> HERE]
After reading these articles on your blog, I must say you have a brilliant ideal.
Hi Chase, thanks for sharing what looks like an amazing story. Unfortunately, as I’m way over here in Australia, I apparently can’t view the movie through iTunes. I changed stores to the US but my Apple id and password won’t work in the US store. I know this is not the Apple support page but any suggestions on how I can see it? Cheers, Darren
Definitely interested in seeing this, though I can’t imagine Adrian Grenier in any other film than entourage 😛
Maybe an online scree cast would be nice.
Is there anyway to watch in the UK? Thanks for sharing Chase.
I’m wondering if it’s on the UK iTunes store? Check it!
