This is a clip we found about the making of the movie "Midnight Express". The movie depicts the ordeal an American citizen goes through after being incarcerated in a Turkish prison for attempted drug smuggling. The Turks have long said this movie was propaganda designed to harm their culture, no doubt being unaware how much of our entertainment fairly attempts to harm our own culture as well. Statistically speaking, America remains the holder of most people incarcerated on the planet. Whether this means our justice system is more aggressive, effective, unfair, or flawed remains up for debate.
