Jay Z (Shawn Carter) “The War on Drugs Is an Epic Fail”
This short film, narrated by Jay Z (Shawn Carter) and featuring the artwork of Molly Crabapple, is part history lesson about the war on drugs and part vision statement.
So, you can still see this video various places. Like on the New York Times site, where I went to watch it just now. It makes some important arguments in terms of the drug policy debate.
But apparently you can no longer watch the YouTube video Sylvia reblogged here:
Which is kind of weird. Apparently the Drug Policy Alliance was part of the collaboration that created the video. But then someone else uploaded it to YouTube, and the DPA decided to get that copy pulled down.
I can’t see the linked-to video anymore, so I’m not sure why the DPA would have wanted it removed. It seems kind of counter-productive in terms of getting their message out, though.
I don’t know. I thought that was interesting.
