🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The filmmakers construct a compelling case against an entire era of prohibitionist policy, moving beyond mere fact-stating. Each interviewee, from former presidents to field experts, adds a crucial weight to the portrait of systemic failure.
What lingers after the credits is not just shock at the statistics, but a sobering understanding of how good intentions fueled cycles of violence and corruption. It stands as a manifesto for evidence-based dialogue — MovieFinder Editorial
