Culture High
Deeply absorbing documentary about pot legalization that also paints a dark picture of American society.
The Culture High
From the award-winning creators of the critically acclaimed documentary "The Union: The Business Behind Getting High,” winner of multiple awards and with over 240,000 followers on Facebook, THE CULTURE HIGH is one of the highest crowd-funded Kickstarter campaigns of all time, smashing through the target goal of $190,000 to raise an astonishing $240,000.
Journeying across the North American landscape, THE CULTURE HIGH is the riveting story that tears into the very fiber of modern day marijuana prohibition to reveal the truth behind the arguments and motives governing both those who support and those who oppose the existing pot laws. With budgets to fight the war reaching billions and arrests for simple possession skyrocketing to nearly a million annually, the debate over marijuana's legality has reached epic proportions. Utilizing the quirky yet profound nature of its predecessor, "The Union: The Business Behind Getting High", THE CULTURE HIGH raises the stakes with some of today's biggest names, unprecedented access to footage previously unobtainable, and incredibly moving testimonials from both sides of the spectrum. Top celebrities, former undercover agents, university professors and a slew of unforgettable characters from all points of view come together for an amusing yet insightful portrait of cannabis prohibition and the grasp it has on society as a whole. THE CULTURE HIGH strip searches the oddity of human nature and dares to ask the question: What exactly is going on here?
