An Honest History
This documentary is a welcome telling of the history of the crack cocaine epidemic that tries to look behind the obvious violence and misery towards the bigger picture.Other reviewers appear to have taken objection to more uncomfortable truths – police corruption, inner cities destroyed by Reaganomics, CIA complicity etc – and I can only assume this is because these facts are threatening to their world view.
Admittedly, the film at times seems confused about its thesis but, f you think Nancy Reagan’s ‘Just Say No’ campaign was an adequate response to the horrors that crack visited on already impoverished African-American communities or that Ronald Reagan really made America ‘great again’, then this documentary is not for you.
If you think that government drug policy has for decades been a hypocritical disaster and that the war on drugs’ has achieved nothing except to give self serving politicians a convenient slogan to parrot, then you will probably find it an interesting, if not revelatory, account of a shameful, and still unfinished, chapter in our history.
Very biased more of a propaganda piece rather than informative documentary
The footage and certain opinions I found interesting to hear but especially towards the end it became glaringly obvious they were trying to convince me that certain things were connected and responsible for an epidemic that had much more to do with other social issues and changes within the community at the time which are either not mentioned at all or just in passing by this film. I don’t like biased films I prefer balanced informative ones so I can’t give this more than 4/10.
