Ryan Bennett Sociology 101 Worksheet for The House I Live In (2012) SYNOPSIS: Filmed in more than twenty states, The House I Live In captures heart- wrenching stories of those on the front lines of America’s 40-year long, $1 trillion War on Drugs — from the dealer to the grieving mother, the narcotics officer to the senator, the inmate to the federal judge. The film asks us to consider the implications of America’s longest war. Directions: Watch the video closely and answer the following questions. Draw connections between lectures, your readings on deviance, social control, and crime, and the film. 1.

The war on drugs according to David Simon has costed over $1 trillion and resulted in more than 45 million arrests.
