Our Drugs War

This three-part series presented and directed by award-winning filmmaker, Angus Macqueen, examines the global story of drugs from the streets of Edinburgh to the poppy fields of Afghanistan: from demand and consumption to supply. The series demonstrates that the astonishing cost and harm to society from our war on drugs is now worse than that of the drugs themselves.

Everyone's at it

Our Drugs War: Everyone's at It turns the spotlight on Britain, where one-in-six young people have used class A drugs. It explores the taboos around talking about drugs honestly. Focusing on Scotland - named by the UN as Europe's drug capital - the film shows the stark contrast between the rich, city centre of Edinburgh and its underprivileged estates where up to 60 to 70 percent of the residents can be drug users.
