Bringing it Home: a multi-award winning and very interesting documentary about hemp. True!

If you enjoy watching Grand Designs and are interested in sustainable building materials and learning about old/new ways to address a raft of current global issues, this movie is for you.

It’s informative: by the end of the movie, you’ll be very clear about the difference between hemp and recreational herbs!
