"Breaking the Taboo" ("Quebrando o Tabu") is one of the best documentaries I have seen that is critical of the so-called war on drugs. A few others I've seen were too long or sought huge and impossible to implement social changes (such as a total redistribution of the wealth). However, this one seems very reasonable in its approach and has the distinction of including many world leaders, past and present, to speak their mind about the failed drug policies.
The bottom line is regardless of your views on drug laws, it's pretty much impossible to argue that they are working--and the film does an excellent job in discussing the negative impact of drug interdiction and tough drug laws. And, while you may not agree with everything in the film, it does make you think and realize something should change. Well made and intelligently written.
