Watched "Kill the Messenger" (2014) on Netflix last night.

It stars Jeremy Renner and is based on the true story of Gary Webb, the journalist who exposed the CIA's importing of crack cocaine from South America and flooding many of the poorest parts of the US, in particular the black areas of Los Angeles, ruining communities with the drug in order to use the drug earnings to fund Ronald Reagan's private army, the Contras in the Nicaraguan war at a time when the US government were spending billions on an all-out "war on drugs".

Mad stuff and well worth a watch. If you do watch it, make sure you catch the details they put on screen at the end.
