Making its World Premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival, which runs September 6-16, the documentary How To Make Money Selling Drugs is Matthew Cooke's feature directorial debut. His past credits include the TV series Bad Dad and Stupidface.

The doc, its title self-explanatory, features hollywood's celebrities, rappers and real-life drug dealers in the likes of Woody Harrelson, Susan Sarandon, Adrian Grenier, 50 Cent, Eminem, Rick "Freeway" Ross and others.

Official synopsis reads, "Ten easy steps show you how to make money from drugs, featuring a series of interviews with drug dealers, prison employees, and lobbyists arguing for tougher drug laws."

    Uh, thanks Toronto Film Festival for all the drug and pimp documentaries. At least you have Angela Davis for some balance, but yeah -- you could do better especially when the head of this is a Black Guy.

    I hope this documentary does a thorough job of explaining the availability of drugs not just on the streets but in hollywood, all the college kids who are addicted to prescription meds. I want to see undercover stories about the drug dealers who sell to these college kids, especially when it comes to steroids. I want to know how much money those drug sellers are making not just the street pharmacists.
