How to Make Money Selling Drugs

Watch Trailer
2012 · 96 min Documentary
7.1 / 10 · TMDB

A former drug dealer guides viewers through ten steps of building a criminal enterprise, from street-level dealing to establishing an empire. The camera captures raw testimonies from those on both sides of the law: low-level distributors serving lengthy sentences, prison guards witnessing the system from within, and lobbyists profiting from harsher drug policies. The film dissects the mechanics of an industry where economic logic often trumps morality, and incarceration becomes just another career milestone.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Filmmaker Matthew Cooke foregoes moralizing, delivering a sober, methodical deconstruction of the drug trade as an economic entity. The film functions as a cynical guidebook, where human lives are mere variables in an equation of supply and demand.

What lingers after the credits is the chilling realization that the war on drugs has become a self-sustaining industry where everyone loses except the punishment system itself. — MovieFinder Editorial
