Nice effects though.
Beautiful, moving film.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Excellent documentary about the real reasons marijuana was criminalized in the United States. If you want to see how & why the lies were told (and why they continue), I strongly suggest viewing this.The only down side to the effort is that it occasionally departs from being a look at the facts to a total loss of objectivity and a pro-pot raving. While I agree with that opinion, it hurts the film's credibility in the end. On the plus side, there is a wealth of information and plenty of ammunition for debating with those who would impose their intolerance on the populace.
