6.1 ~ Documentary of the Week


"High: The True Tale of American Marijuana" (2008)

From Netflix: "Filmmaker John Holowach directs this fascinating documentary about the causes and effects of the war on drugs. It also delves into the little-known politics and economics behind the battle and exposes the broken lives and casualties left behind. Holowach examines the infamous drug rehab program Straight, Inc., the fight against pain medicine misuse, the history of the marijuana legalization movement and more."

Boring.

Badly made, the narrator talks over the people she's interviewing, and the film manages to take something interesting and important and find a way to make it boring...there are way better movies about this subject matter out there...

FAIL.

That's all I can say.

That's all I WILL say. Watch only if you wish to pass out.
