Over the next six months or so, the calls and the inquiries about Drug Wars -
Crank
County
exploded. I was hearing from treatment centers around the country and I was able to put a map together that showed the hot spots of meth use in the US and I predicted that within 10 years this would be one of the biggest drug problems in US history. (I am sorry to say that I was right.)
I got a call from a drug treatment center in
Saint Louis
MO.
The counselor told me that he had showed the film to a group the night before and it had really hit home and his audience of biker types were really moved and educated by the film.
One of the people who were in the film, Ed Mayer of the JACKNET - a joint law enforcement agency located in
Jackson
County -
had gone to the
FBI
Academy
at
Quantico
VA.
He told me that he had been approached by several people who saw him in the film. He said he had no idea that the film could have had such an impact and such a far reach. I didn't either. It turned out that we distributed thousands of copies of the film all around the world.
