As a 52 year old, curious about CBD, I thought I knew everything this show had to offer. I was wrong. And I suggest any elder who has heard about CBD and would like to know more. I recommend this. I didn't know about Dupont and Henry Ford's fight. And had my doubts. Googled it, found several articles reflecting that.
But I do agree with others on the visuals, poor job on them. Just close your eyes and listen to it, was better IMO.
Plot summary

It is time to dispel the lies and address the facts. Join us on an exploration of one of the most astounding and controversial plants to ever sprout. It is a story of thousands of years, and millions of people. It is the story of an herb called cannabis, and a miracle plant known as marijuana.

I learned from it.
Nothing new
Cannabis has been around for thousands of years and has proved its value for mankind from the outset. Unfortunately since the 1900 governments started banning this substance as they had lost the knowledge that their forefathers had.
This documentary does not really put a new angle to this most misunderstood plant. The narrator sounds monotonous and keeps repeating a certain phrase which becomes annoying to hear. A poor documentary with nothing new to add to this very important topic.
Would be better as a audio book
Its the horrible stock video clips that are just weird during the story. Talking about diseases like herpes and seeing a guy laugh really sinister for way too long with a white medical coat that is way too big. Just listen to it instead of watching it, convert it to mp3
