Pot Country

'Pot Country' is a short documentary about two people's complex relationships with marijuana - the semi-legal crop that powers the local economy in much of rural northern California. Seen through the eyes of a fifth generation ex-logger and a back-to-the-land grandma who makes her living as a grower, Pot Country is a history of how Humboldt County changed with the arrival of the hippies in the 1970s. It's also a portrait of a community that's in flux again, with marijuana legalization on the horizon and the bottom dropping out of the pot market.
