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.
David Simon, creator of The Wire, introduced The House I Live In. The film was followed by a conversation with the director, writer and producer of The House I Live In, Eugene Jarecki, and Judge Andre Davis, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
