40 YEARS…  $1 Trillion dollars…  45 million arrests
The war on drugs has never been about drugs.

 

Winner of the Sundance Film Festival 2012 Grand Jury Prize Documentary!

Filmed in more than twenty states, THE HOUSE I LIVE IN tells the stories of individuals at all levels of America’s War on Drugs. From the dealer to the narcotics officer, the inmate to the federal judge, the film offers a penetrating look inside America’s criminal justice system, revealing the profound human rights implications of U.S. drug policy.

The film is a documented indictment of the country’s disgraceful war on drugs and the use of incarceration to sustain structural racism. The evening will open with a panel presentation on local efforts to reform our justice system and stop the institutionalized neglect of young Baltimore City African Americans. After the film guests are welcome to stay for a Q&A with the film’s producer Melinda Shopsin.

Reservations are required: Please reply to this email or call the Safe and Sound Campaign at 410.625.7976 to reserve your seat.
