DIRECTOR Eugene Jarecki SCREENWRITER Eugene Jarecki Program Category: U.S. Documentary Event: All Films |
Eugene Jarecki’s seminal film Why We Fight dissected the underbelly of the American war machine. Now, with scalpel-like precision, Jarecki turns his lens on a less visible war—one that is costing more lives, destroying more families, and quickly becoming a scourge on the soul of American society. In the past 40 years, the War on Drugs has accounted for 45 million arrests, made America the world's largest jailer, and destroyed impoverished communities at home and abroad. Yet drugs are cheaper, purer, and more available today than ever. Where did we go wrong, and what can be done?
Kara Elverson Eugene Jarecki’s first short film, Season of the Lifterbees, premiered at the 1993 Sundance Film Festival. After directing The Trials of Henry Kissinger, Jarecki won the Sundance Grand Jury Prize and a Peabody Award for his 2005 film Why We Fight. In 2010 he created Move Your Money, a viral short encouraging Americans to transfer their money from “too big to fail” banks to community ones. His film Reagan premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival before broadcasting on HBO. |
