Weed & Wine

Two farm­ing fam­i­lies aim to rein­vent them­selves on their land. One fam­i­ly – a strong-willed French matri­arch and the son she raised among her vines – tends a cen­turies-old, bio­dy­nam­ic vine­yard in the South­ern Rhône. Across the ocean in Hum­boldt, Cal­i­for­nia, anoth­er fam­i­ly – a brash father and his more reserved son – care­ful­ly man­age a state-rec­og­nized, organ­ic cannabis farm. This documen­tary inter­weaves their sto­ries, urg­ing compar­isons and teas­ing out con­tra­dic­tions between France’s revered wine­mak­ing tra­di­tions and the arti­san cul­ture emerg­ing along­side the legal cannabis industry.
