In the 1980's the war on drugs directly led to The Three-strikes Law. And for over 20 years it's been tearing families apart.
Letters, interviews - it's that kind of shizzle.
There's a girl in a Black Lawyers Matter shirt in the traditional Straight Outta Compton album style. Explicit style. I like her.
Conclusion: Drug laws laws are way too harsh.
It's a good documentary, and a feelgood movie about how people really can make a change.
Did they made a difference? 638 years served, 33 lives saved.
Though I forget if this was in regard to the laws they're fighting, or the fight their fighting... oh well, I'm late posting this.
Solid documentary, though it feels a bit too far from home for me to really connect with it. Probably most relevant if you are in the US of A. As a foreigner I get good stories, and inspiration, but don't learn much otherwise. The drug feud and justice system that benefits more so the rich than the people are pretty well-known across borders.
rated 3/5: not bad
