The House I Live In
From the dealer to the narcotics officer, the inmate to the federal judge, a penetrating look inside America's criminal justice system, revealing the profound human rights implications of U.S. drug policy.

EDIT: anyone know why Youtube embeds don't work in this forum? It's about films after all.

Re: The House I Live In
OK, just saw this a couple of nights ago (rental off of Amazon streaming). Overall, I was pretty disappointed. A much more powerful and convincing film could have been made on the subject than this. It had some terrific moments, but it failed to drive home its arguments.
