You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an accessible, entertaining documentary about the war on drugs and how politics and profits intersect; Not for you if you want a purely educational, deeply data-driven breakdown like those in The War on Drugs documentary for Colbert Report and Daily Show fans.

Pros: engaging fast pace; clear controversial message; many perspectives | Cons: feels familiar; heavy subject matter; some feel shallow
