In this riveting personal story, award-winning, bestselling
country music recording artist Merle Haggard takes you on a tour
through his house of memories, offering a fascinating look inside
his turbulent yet successful life. Merle reveals the true stories
about his birth and troubled upbringing in a converted railroad
boxcar. He recalls the loss of his father when he was nine, after
which his childhood disobedience transformed into full-blown
delinquency that eventually landed him behind the cold walls of San
Quentin. He gives tribute to his mother and relives the painful
memory of her death. He shares the lessons he learned from a life
shaped by violence, gambling, and drugs, never shying away from the
fact that he continues to pay for decades of reckless living. And
he talks about the music he loves--how, ultimately, it has defined
the man he is.
A three-volume set of documentaries examining different aspects of
the drug trade. 'Ecstasy Bandits' (2010), profiles the scientists
responsible for the development of so-called 'designer drugs',
including Ecstasy, in recent times. 'Cocaine Bandits' (2008),
examines the way drug barons in the border region between the US
and Mexico are increasingly using paramiltary forces to achieve
their aims. Finally, 'Weed Bandits' (2003), examines both sides'
views in the campaign to allow the planting of industrial hemp in
the United States. In the pro camp, celebrity activists including
Woody Harrelson, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Ralph Nader put
forward the argument that American farmers, already finding it hard
to survive in today's economic climate, are being criminalised for
going into competition with their rival synthetic manufacturers.
