Traffic is the film to watch.
Traffic is a commendable effort by director Steven Soderbergh to unveil the horrors of the drug industry in US and Mexico. On a macro level, it reveals the mechanics behind the trade and its interaction between government, drug merchants and, of course, the end-users. On a micro level, the film weaves together the stories of 3 characters in the drug war. The plot was very much like a documentary that shows you what is really happening 'out there' and leaves you to come to your own conclusion about the business. With the use of some post-production, there was a different mood in the stories so that you would never get lost in each thread.
