This one hour documentary tackles the myths and taboos that characterize the complex cannabis plant, and the stigma faced by its consumers.
I was brought onto this fascinating documentary project produced by Red Letter Films to create a graphics package and explainer animations. The original French-language version was released as «Le malaise cannabis» for Radio-Canada and can be watched here.
