The House I Live In, the new documentary by Eugene Jarecki (Why We Fight), opens in theaters this weekend. It was edited by Edit Center graduate Paul Frost, who got a nice mention in the New York Times review: "Working again with the film editor Paul Frost, Mr. Jarecki smoothly folds these images in with dizzying statistics and a cavalcade of talking head interviews."
The House I Live In premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, where it received the Grand Jury Prize in the Documentary Competition. For more information on the film's release visit the official website. Congratulations Paul!
40 years, 45 million arrests, $1 Trillion -- America's longest, most tragic and costliest war is the so-called War on Drugs. Are drug laws fair? Should a drug sentence be a life sentence? The House I Live In examines the case from the perspective of the dealers, the jailers, the grieving mothers and journalists like David Simon (creator, The Wire).
