Grass(1999)

Grass is a documentary that traces America's war on marijuana through the 20th century. Director Ron Mann combines archival footage, period documents, and dark humour to expose how the U.S. government systematized the demonization of a drug that millions have used with minimal documented harm. Narrated by Woody Harrelson, the film examines the political and social forces behind cannabis prohibition, revealing how fear-mongering campaigns shaped public perception and policy. Winner of the Genie Award, Mann's sharp, irreverent approach challenges the official narrative by letting historical records speak for themselves. Grass argues that marijuana's controversial status owes more to politics and prejudice than to science, offering a provocative counter-history of American drug policy that remains relevant today.
