The Emperor of Hemp




The Emperor of Hemp is a documentary that exposes the secrets behind hemp and marijuana prohibition as seen through the eyes of Jack Herer, author of 'The Emperor Wears No Clothes,' the best-selling cult classic that ignited a Hemp Revolution around the world. 
In his book and through his years of public activism, Herer has worked to disseminate accurate information about cannabis to counter decades of government-sponsored anti-marijuana propaganda. What began as Herer's singular battle has turned into a massive movement to educate America about this environmentally friendly plant. While his work has made Herer a hero of the movement to re-legalize cannabis for adults, this film story of his struggle is significant for all of us. 
"Emperor of Hemp" reveals that there are governmental and big-business interests efforts to keep the plant illegal. It shows how the government attempted to change history in order to hid the truth about hemp from the American people. It also outlines the racist lies that formed the basis of marijuana prohibition by exploring important facets of the corruption that maintains the modern-day "War on Drugs.) In effect, this film takes you to the forfront of the pro-hemp movement!
