Prescription Thugs plot

"Is there really a war on drugs?"

Documentary on the use and abuse of prescription drugs. Director Bell uses a selection of original film archival footage - from Nixon's announcement of drugs as "Public Enemy Number One," to more illustrative segments such as a warehouse shot in "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Serious problems are presented in a more light-hearted way, linking them together for additional information, such as the fact that Americans, although they represent only five percent of the world's population, use as much as 75 percent of prescription drugs. .
