This is a bucket list event - the premiere showing at Hollywood's TCL Chinese movie theater of an amazing documentary film chronicling one of the most significant legacies of the cannabis legalization movement.

Cannabis in America has had an evolution of epic proportions over the last decade and filmmakers Dan Katzir and Ravit Markus were there to record it. They spent Oaksterdam-university-logo.png10 years following a "small group of concerned committed citizens" (per Margaret Mead) who opened Oaksterdam University and in 2010 fought to get Prop. 19 - a measure to legalize cannabis - on the ballot in California, thus bringing this taboo topic to the mainstream.

A true American tale, their fight serves as a reminder of how democracy can work when people come together. The documentary is not just an important historical chronicle, but also a lesson on how change transpires in this country.

It is a a great film documenting a pivotal point in the history of cannabis and its path to finally reclaiming its status as one of the most important plants in human history.
