The Hemp Revolution tells the amazing and little known story
of the Hemp plant. Hemp (Cannabis Sativa, a.k.a. Marijuana), probably
the first plant ever to be cultivated, was among the world's largest agricultural
crops until the late 1800's. This feature documentary explores the plant's
fascinating history, its thousands of uses, the economic and cultural forces
behind its prohibition, and its modern potential to solve major environmental
problems. Indeed Hemp, together with the biotechnologies presented in this
film, could revolutionize the planet with a shift from the present unsustainable,
petrochemical based economy towards a sustainable plant based economy.
Top scientists, academics and professionals from Australia, the U.S., Europe and Nepal deliver a powerful case for Hemp's reemergence. This is supported by unique current and archival footage from around the world. This well-done eye-opening video features: Dr. Andrew Weil, Dr. Lester Grinspoon, Terence McKenna, Dr. Kate Short, Prof. Peter Dale Scott, Dr. Andrew Katelaris, Gatewood Galbraith, and more. The Hemp Revolution is the single finest tool we have seen for educating novices on the wonders of Hemp. Highly recommended.
