Breaking the Taboo: Film & Petition

Narrated by Oscar winning actor Morgan Freeman, Breaking the Taboo is a film directed by Cosmo Feilding Mellen and Fernando Grostein Andrade. Featuring interviews with several current and former presidents from around the world, such as Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, the film follows the Global Commission on Drug Policy on a mission to break the political taboo on drugs, that fuels the American (and then international) "War on Drugs" and exposes what it calls the biggest failure of global policy in the last decades.

You can also sign a petition to the ONU Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon and all Heads of State:
"We call on you to end the war on drugs and the prohibition regime, and move towards a system based on decriminalisation, regulation, public health and education. This 50 year old policy has failed, fuels violent organised crime, devastates lives and is costing billions. It is time for a human and effective approach".
