Drug War Film Festival

Where:
Seattle Wa.

When:

911 and the BC Compassion Club Society present:
DRUG WAR FILM FESTIVAL
Friday, March 12 8pm
$6 / $4 (911 members)

There's been some incredible progress up in Canada lately. It's almost like our 
friends in the Great White North are practicing sociopolitical jujitsu - 
snowy ying to our repressive yang. Canada's drug policy has evolved to focus 
on harm reduction instead of incarceration. Moreover, marijuana use is 
practically legal (it's tolerated) up there. But look beyond the cheech and 
chong jokes please, a sane approach to pot means fewer prisoners, medicine 
for the ill... and, well, much better pot. Tonight's festival was organized 
with help from the BC Compassion Club Society, a non-profit healthcare 
provider distributing cannabis and other holistic medicines. 

Crimes of Compassion
Jennifer Pickford's documentary about the BC and Vancouver Island Compassion Club 
Societies is an inside look at the trials and tribulations of medical 
marijuana usage in a sometimes hostile legal environment. 

Final Days
When the LA Compassion club was raided and closed by a veritable army of state and 
federal authorities the camera was rolling the whole time. See this very 
dramatic and traumatic episode and learn how the damage is done.
