Rat Park

Can we ever solve the global drug crisis? In 1978, Canadian psychologist Bruce K. Alexander conducted a radical experiment involving rats and heroin that would revolutionize the way we understand addiction. Thirty years later, this timely and conversation-worthy VICE doc connects the long forgotten "Rat Park" findings with three stories taking place 10,000 miles apart -- revealing why addiction is not really about the substances, it's about the cages we live in. In the aftermath of the futile war on drugs, a world where narcotics are legalized might be the only option.
