America Uncut

[RobbieGanjaSeed]

We've got the optus Tv shows here , and I see on Wed 12th the documentary series "America Uncut" is running a good looking doco on the failure of the war on drugs and the general unfairness of it.

 

The leader I watched went into the CIA being proven guilty of impiorting millions of dollars worth of heroin, that's old news. They established the opium trade in Afghanistan.

 

The doco maker's family has been wiped out from early deaths attributed to smoking cigarettes, drinking piss and prescription pills, and asks the question why people are being arrested by the truck load for pot and the likes.

 

It's on the "C.I" (crime and investigation) channel. It may be nothing we don't already know, but at least it's the media showing a side that might be worth looking at.

I watch that series all the time - it is a quality production and seldom biased.

 

I recall that I've seen that episode last year - was pretty good so yeah - watch it if you got pay tv.
