The House I Live In: Tuesday October 9, 1-2 p.m.




WYPR: Midday with Dan Rodricks Podcast show

Summary: The war on drugs has led to mass incarcerations, with the nation’s poor and minority communities disproportionately affected. Documentary filmmaker Eugene Jarecki filmed in more than 20 states to capture the stories of individuals affected by our country’s longest war -- from dealer to grieving mother to narcotics officer to politicians. Jarecki, whose new film “The House I Live In” opened in limited release last week, is our guest this hour, along with Judge Andre Davis of the U.S. Fourth Court of Appeals, an outspoken critic of the war on drugs and mandatory minimum sentencing laws.
