“Cages” is a character-driven exploration into the waning days of America’s drug war which examines the parallel public health crises of overdose death and mass incarceration. From the barrios of northern New Mexico to Chicago’s west side and the suburbs of Connecticut, this feature length documentary challenges inherent notions of drug use, addiction, and drug policy, and features the paradigm-shifting work of leaders and advocates on the front lines of a generational movement for change. “Cages” delivers a message of hope, humanity, and harm reduction principles in response to America’s most pervasive public health epidemic.
