The Last White Hope (new film coming soon)

Just received an email update from the folks at Sacred Cow Productions and wanted to help spread the word:

My name is Kevin Booth, you might know me from my work with Bill Hicks, Joe Rogan, Doug Stanhope or Alex Jones. I have been working for the last three years on a film about the failed DRUG WAR. I'm writing because I will be screening it this SUNDAY at the EVIL CITY film fest NYC Oct.15th 4PM, 11th Street bar. 510E 11th street (212) 982-3929. If you're not able to make it out I would still like you to see it as I believe that legalizing Marijuana will require a complete overhaul of all Drug laws.

PLEASE HELP ME SPREAD the WORD
Sincerely
Kevin Booth

The Last White Hope: America's War on Drugs gives a radical new perspective to the Drug War by putting a human face on the War's casualties, while enlisting help from some unlikely sources. A Republican Governor? A right-wing Judge? The Last White Hope has made ending the drug war a mainstream issue. Director Kevin Booth takes the viewer on a very personal three-year journey through the front yards to the alleys and prisons of the American drug war. From conservative district court judges to hashish smugglers, from LAPD narcotics officers to the most famous crack kingpin of the 1980's, from actors and doctors to gang members and drug dealers, The Last White Hope casts the Drug War in a new light, one that shows how money, power and greed have corrupted not just dope fiends but an entire government. More importantly, it shows what can be done about it. This is not some 'pro-drug' stoner film, but a collection of expert testimonials from the ground troops on the front lines of the drug war, the ones who are fighting it and the ones who are living it. The Last White Hope is the culmination of three years of passionate filmmaking. The result is a film that has the courage to tell the truth and the power to persuade even the most skeptical.
