This book examines the ideological assumptions embedded in the narrative and imagery of drug films. Drawing on a sample of over one hundred films produced in Britain, Canada, and the U.S. from 1916 to 2005 whose focus is primarily on illegal drugs, trafficking, and their consequences, Boyd highlights specific films that represent past and contemporary illegal drug discourse about users, traffickers, criminal justice, and drug treatment.
