The Drugreporter video team was invited by the Drug Policy Alliance to their conference in Atlanta to produce a film about the latest developments in drug policy in the US and beyond. You can now watch our short summary movie on race and the drug war, as well as recorded key speeches and sessions!    

Film ini mengangkat cerita satu hari dari tujuh orang, yang berasal dari tujuh kota di tujuh negara yang berbeda, dari pagi hingga malam. Ketujuh orang ini memiliki sesuatu yang sama—semuanya menggunakan napza.

El documental nos lleva a través un día en la vida de siete personas, de siete ciudades, en siete países distintos del mundo; desde las primeras horas de la mañana hasta el anochecer. Todos tienen algo en común, todos ellos usan alguna droga.

The film takes us through one day in the life of eight people, from seven cities, in seven different countries of the world, from morning until night. They all have something in common – all of them use drugs.

Der Film führt uns durch einen Tag im Leben von acht Menschen aus sieben Städten in sieben verschiedenen Ländern der Welt, vom Morgen bis in die Nacht. Sie alle haben etwas gemeinsam: sie alle gebrauchen Drogen, aber sie definieren sich nicht darüber.

Фильм приглашает нас совершить путешествие в один день из жизни восьми человек, из семи городов семи стран мира, с утра и до поздней ночи. Все эти люди имеют нечто общее – они употребляют наркотики. Но мы не будем заострять на этом внимание.

We proudly present Drugreporter’s new feature documentary: A Day in the Life.

After a long gestation, the UN drug reform experiment suffered a miscarriage. It seems the UN is not the catalyst of change but its mirror. Reformers can learn many lessons – but can also be proud of their achievements.

The UN General Assembly Special Session on Drugs (UNGASS) adopted the outcome document without a debate, right before the real discussion could have started.

Hundreds of drug reformers gathered at the “Drug Policy and the Politics of Race” event, organised at Columbia University on Sunday, to discuss how repressive drug policies affect the lives of communities of colour. Watch our videos!
