Producer-director Anthony Clarke's documentary explores the hemp



plant's fascinating history and thousands of uses, as well as the economic and cultural forces behind its prohibition. Clarke argues that the hype surrounding hemp,



also known as cannabis



or marijuana,



has overshadowed the plant's benefits as a source of paper pulp and its uses as a cotton substitute. He comes down hard on chemical and drug companies as well as the U.S. government.
