In The Drug Dilemma: War or Peace?, veteran TV anchorman and journalist Walter Cronkite examines the dilemma and abject failure of the War on Drugs. He interviews mothers who are in prison with outrageously long sentences for trivial drug offenses, and poignantly shows the innocent victims of this misguided civil war. Cronkite compares the drug war with the Vietnam War and tells us it's time to declare peace and save lives.
A second film, War Zone brings to life the terror inflicted on U.S. citizens by the police state tactics of the war on drugs. 90% of American cities with populations over 50,000 now have their own SWAT teams, who often find themselves facing nothing more than a terrorized family. SWAT team officers are filmed in training, as they acquaint themselves with warfare techniques and combat weapons.
