JustBad Productions Presents : Trailblazers: A Cannabis Conversation
This short docu film deconstructs the taboo of smoking weed by questioning stereotypes and highlighting individuals who defy them. We reveal the shocking history of cannabis in the united states and examine the role of the media in influencing negative narratives and the government’s role in the imprisonment of people who engage in cannabis use. By using archival footage and expert commentary, the directors Jill and Chrissy, demonstrate how racism, the media and other factors were used to ban & criminalize weed. We then take our viewers on a journey showcasing our guests’ individual stories and the role cannabis plays in their success. The overall message that we want you to walk away with after watching this is to Do your own research. Define your own success.
