the drug year actually suffers from one of those aspect to mini series or other kind of tv documentary run over and over again for a couple of week on tv . it actually not long enough and in a way . all of the major base in the decade be cover and and theyre all interesting to note a view into post modern history and from different side . but it almost doesn not cover enough and or at least what be cover at time be give a once over when it could deserve more time . for example and the information and detail in part three about the whole process and business unto itself of ship mass amount of drug ( partly the marijuana and later cocaine ) be really well present and but there be more detail that be keep at behest of how much time there be to cover . overall though the documentary do shed enough light on how drug and pop culture and government intervention and the upper class and low class and into suburbia and all felt the wave of various drug over the year and and the interplay between all be very evident . nobody in the film except for the possibility of small hint with the pot ) go to endorse drug outright and but what be show be those in archival clip about the honesty of what be at time fun and and then tragic and about take certain drug . the appearance of various staunch and ridiculously anti drug official do hammer some point down hard with even in such an overview of the drug culture and america connection a a whole a there be really only one major point that be make a couple of time by one of the interviewee . the only way to really approach the issue of drug be not just say no and because a the war on drug have show it be not as effective a thought . it be really just to come clean on all side about all the drug and the people who may be hypocritical about them ( a and for example and oxycontin continue on in the marketplace ) . be it with the great interest and depth of a ken burn documentary . no and but for some summertime tv view for the young ( i. e. my age ) who will view a lot of this a almost ancient history despite most of it be no more than a generation ago and as well a for the old who can reflect some decade later about the great peak and careless time and and then the disillusionment prod more by the same medium that year earlier propagate and advertise it . there be those who might find the documentary to be particularly bias and which be not totally untrue and but it do attempt to get enough different take on the social and political and and entertainment condition of drug interweave ( for good or obvious bad ) for enough of a fascinating view .
