Hemp Nation — A Documentary

Series on Regeneration & Sustainability

Why Hemp Matters for Soil, Farming & Industry

(THIS PROJECT IS CURRENTLY IN PRODUCTION)

An eight-part, U.S.-based documentary series that explores how one ancient plant could help regenerate our soil, homes, clothing, food, products, and communities.

Once a vital crop in early American history, hemp was pushed to the margins by politics, petroleum, and stigma.

Now, farmers, builders, scientists, and makers across the country are rediscovering it as a practical tool for healing land, reducing waste, and building a more resilient future.
