( If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem... )
If these images are not shared and taken in for mental digestion then all the indiscretions of humankind will be buried and negated from affairs on the large list of issues that need to be dealt with collectively. The concern of the desensitisation of human emotion is a valid concern, albeit, it is the existence of such rare documentaries that change becomes palpable. Agreed, if we made hard-hitting documentary features all of the time then it would feel average. Shouting at the director/producer because you may be squeamish over the factual existence of animal torture as opposed to standing up and fighting for change via active involvement, makes you as culpable as the policy makers. Shock-treatment documentary making with plausible change advice is key to the enlightenment and the approach and tackle of human error. Good engineering practitioners always taught the young aspiring 'engineerlings', '...don't come to me with a problem, come to me with a solution.'
Tell Your Children (1936)
A THC documentary-bucket liner, It all started here...
Nothing can be as good enough to quantify a 10/10 but I gave this documentary a 10/10 as it reminds me about all of the culture surrounding this dear plant in the first instance. From the Social platforms that effect/affect almost every person around us today, through to the political arena where small groups of people decide the plant's fate and then on to the medical aspect of it's interaction with us. The original is black and white, but if you can get one hand around the colorized edition of Reefer Madness, and the other around a freshly rolled assistant then do so. Then humour yourself at the then social-political ideology engulfing minds at the time just, and for us now to realize how far we have come. Also sit back and watch the curiously purple smoke the folk extricated in this colorized edition...
