Meth in the city

Description

Restriction on sales of Sudafed in the U.S. caused production of methamphetamine to move from small rural labs in the U.S. to Mexican drug cartels, which could more easily distribute the drug to urban areas. This documentary "takes a multi-faceted look at the new phenomenon including the users and the activists who are trying to save them; the law enforcement officers on the front lines; and those working to keep the drug from spreading and taking hold of urban centers like New York City, Miami, Chicago and Philadelphia"--Publisher's catalog.
