External Reviews
“Expertly researched, brilliantly argued and masterfully assembled, it is also easily the documentary of the year…”
–The Times-Picayune
“With The House I Live In, a cogent look at America’s failed war on drugs, [Director Jarecki’s] work reaches new depth and urgency. It’s a film as profoundly sad as it is enraging and potentially galvanizing, and it’s one of the most important pieces of nonfiction to hit the screen in years.”
–Los Angeles Times
“…an angry and personal attack, from the libertarian left, on America’s war on drugs.”
–The Guardian
“Jarecki’s arguments, presented as a very personal response to the war on drugs, are unashamedly those of a left-wing libertarian. They are also enormously compelling and extremely convincing.”
