Fractured States

Fractured States weaves together the stories of 3 separate families from South Central, Los Angeles, and chronicles the historic social and legal shift surrounding marijuana in the U.S. today. Told through the eyes of those most affected by decades of failed drug policy, this film seeks to change the perception of communities of color and to show that many of the people serving time for non-violent drug crimes are not always the hardened criminals people on the outside might imagine. They are sons and fathers, business and family men, just like their white counterparts.
