WAR ON THE WAR ON DRUGS [IMPORT]

Details

• Release Year: 2006
• Genre: Documentary
• Plot: 'The War on the War on Drugs' is the first feature film to take targeted aim at the U.S. government's ineffectual and costly anti-drug campaign. In a series of 60 humorous vignettes, in the style of 'The Kentucky Fried Movie' and 'The Groove Tube', director Cevin Soling uses a variety of cinematic styles to parody the government's drug war propaganda and those insistent upon enforcing it.; ; The film exposes the twisted logic and obvious lies at the core of the Bush administration's obscenely expensive anti-drug efforts. Ironically, Soling's film embraces popular American media and culture in parodying the drug war propaganda.; ; The humorous segments include: a 1970s educational reel providing information on Meth lab fire safety and how to find a dealer you can trust; a 1950s black and white Sci-Fi Flick; anti-drug ads; a how-to cooking show featuring hash brownies; a kid-TV show starring puppets that dispense drug information; and a news 'expose' reveling eerie comparisons between DARE and Hitler Youth. What ultimately emerges is the startling realization that the drug war is far more dangerous than the drugs it purports to eliminate.
