Documentary Description
Cocaine Nation and Heroin Nation premiered on the
Discovery channel are rated TV-14 because of the subject matter and
some disturbing footage of drug abuse.
Both series take a raw look at all sides of drug
abuse including the users, the dealers, treatment and even the science
behind the addictions.
Cocaine Nation concentrates on the gritty underworld
of cocaine use as seen through the eyes of law enforcement officers,
addicts, users, therapists and scientists. The show makes connections
between all aspects of cocaine, from how it is smuggled across the
border of Mexico, to the way it affects teenagers in states up north.
Heroin Nation, which premiered after Cocaine Nation,
takes a similar approach in documenting the problem with heroin in the
United States.

I like the info given, but I don't like the sensationnalist tone of the documentary.
