The House I Live In
This movie presents a society where drug
abuse and its war has seen many citizens get to prison. Jarecki presents a
society that has seen more of the poor people being imprisoned for drug use,
possession or even trafficking. This is a society that has seen many prisoners
than any other country in the world. Jarecki would have integrated the
character and clearly shown how this character Nannie had lost her son.
This movie, The House I Live In, presents a
society that has people misusing drugs for various reasons. Jarecki presents
the challenges that most people face in a society that is faced with stiff
class struggles and even wars on the drugs.This movie has showed a lot of
biases when it came to the use of the
law on the drug users. Jarecki could have used the whole society equally
and shown how the society was affected by the application of the law itself.
The characters, such as Nannie Jeter, a
used to represent a society that is faced with great challenges of drug use.
She loses her son to the drug war before moving up to the north side of the
country. What she didn’t know was that the society that was living on the upper
side of the country was faced with multiple challenges. These people were faced
with problems such as class struggle, segregation, racism as well as the drug
trafficking. The representation of the society shows a lot of segregation. The
author could have involved more of the society that had the first-hand
information on the war of drugs. This would have given a fair representation of
the society in a struggle to ending a corruption, not creating one.
The whole society is presented as a corrupt
one with everybody being involved in the so-called, war against drugs, becoming
a victim. The judiciary, as well as the police force, is faced with the
challenges of corruption that have led to the increased number of drug related
issues. This has seen to the increased number of drug prisoners in the whole
country.
