Drug Wars
A FRONTLINE- Documentary (4 x 60 min.)

This is a special four-hour series examining America's vast efforts during the past three decades to stop the flow of illegal drugs into the country. The drug wars have been absorbed hundreds of billions of dollars, altering the criminal justice system and putting millions of people in jail. Yet despite this expenditure, the use of heroin, cocaine, marijuana and other illicit drugs remains essentially unchanged. Have our efforts been in vain? In exclusive interviews with both the "drug warriors" and the drug traffickers, FRONTLINE presents the first television history of America's war on drugs as told from both sides of the battlefield.
