Plot summary
Laid out in ten steps, the documentary begins as a guide to becoming a successful pusher and sets out how money is made at every level of the trade, from street dealer to smuggler, kingpin and drug lord, along with the risks that come with each position. Interviewees include people who have sold drugs, prison employees, law enforcement officials and lobbyists who want tougher drug laws. Beyond the guide, it looks at what keeps the war on drugs going, criticizes that war, and gathers suggestions and opinions from people who deal with drugs from outside the institutionalized and incentivized system. A narrator carries the steps.
