Druglawed

About This Movie

Druglawed is this gritty, eye-opening documentary that digs deep into how New Zealand got swept up in the U.S.'s ongoing War on Drugs. It’s not just a single story; the film takes you through six different countries, revealing the far-reaching effects of cannabis prohibition over the last century. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for those moments of reflection, and the atmosphere is thick with a sense of urgency and frustration. There's a realness to the interviews that cuts through the usual rhetoric, making it feel like you’re privy to some inside knowledge. It's particularly striking how it balances personal stories with broader social commentary, shedding light on a topic that often feels obscured. The practical effects are minimal, but the raw footage speaks volumes, giving the viewer an unfiltered glimpse into the issue.
