It dives deeply into its various applications, from the production of durable and economic fibers to food products, fuel, and even pharmaceuticals.
At one time, America was a major producer of industrial hemp that had no narcotic effects. But in 1938, this changed with a complete ban on hemp production. Hemp: A Lost History investigates why this happened — and it turns out that large oil-based industries played a part in getting the ban instituted.
This documentary also looks ahead to how hemp could be used as an alternative to both oil and wood in the future. With its many advantages over these other materials, hemp may prove to be an invaluable asset going forward.
Hemp: A Lost History is an eye-opening look at how our country’s relationship with this incredibly versatile plant has changed over time. From its technological potential to its environmental implications, you won’t want to miss this thought-provoking film!
