Why Samuel L. Jackson's Drug War Docuseries 'The Fix' Is You Can't Miss

By Franca Quarnéti via El Planteo.

The Fix, a documentary series that tackles the history and effects of the War on Drugs in the United States, premiered on January 21, 2022. It was produced by Roku ROKU , an American company that manufactures streaming devices and produces audiovisual content.

The new series has eight agile and intense episodes of six to nine minutes, narrated by none other than Samuel L. Jackson. When asked "How do you win the war on drugs?", Jackson answers emphatically, "End it".

What are the episodes about?

Basically, the documentary aims to show that a lot of things are not what they seem. The first episode is titled "Everything We Think We Know About Addiction Is Wrong".

So the rest of the episodes maintain the "Everything we think we know about..." premise and tackle different issues, such as the start of the war on drugs, action substances in the brain, substance-related violence, drug policy and the opioid crisis.

It should be noted that the audiovisual work is based on the book After the Scream, by British journalist Johan Hari. Hari served as executive producer, while Jeremiah Zagar and Jeremy Yachesand directed and produced the documentary.

As reported by The Celeb Stoner, The Fix can be watched for free on The Roku Channel, which is only available in the US, Canada and the UK.Image Via El Planteo.
