In the past 40 years, the War on Drugs has accounted for 45 million arrests, made America the world's largest jailer, and destroyed impoverished communities at home and abroad. Yet drugs are cheaper, purer, and more available today than ever. Where did we go wrong?

The House I Live In is a 2012 documentary that examines four decades of America's War on Drugs, exploring how 45 million arrests and mass incarceration have failed to reduce drug availability while devastating communities. The film investigates whether this massive policy has achieved its stated goals or caused more harm than good.
