GamerTab That was an excellent one.

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

jesyrja Im writing an answer to another comment here about the movie. The movie isn't about dangers of smoking or history or anything the movie is about manufacturing hashish how it's done etc. There is many people out there who don't know how it is done. And for the people who know...They just know about the morocco and Moroccan hashish and are also curious about the Moroccan ways. If you want to see a movie witch tells you about the dangers of smoking weed / hashish well there are own documents for that.I would think that it would be also hard to talk about the history etc. because of the language barrier because this was a low budget documentary.

Alistraxo Papaskiri I usually don't write reviews here because of weakness in English language, but could do nothing after reading others'. Was sad to understand writers could not catch the point, so here I am.If you see the film thinking about cinematography, editorial skills and so on yes, probably there are some better films, but then you won't understand the idea, which is very well explained here. The people in the film are exactly same as in real lives. If you don't like landscapes taken, then it means you don't like Moroccan landscapes as they are shot exactly how they look in real. That's best work from the director and cinematographer in documentaries - to show everything like they really are.Seeing the film will not leave any doubts if life of the people shown is really like that or not. Seeing it you will trip through Morocco, talk to the people, real people, drink tea with them and yes, smoke some Hashish because only this way you will understand what it is all about.This is simply one of the most beautiful documentaries I have seen! No CGI, effects, deep editing, actor playing skills... this is documentary, not Star Wars.Many thanks to Daniel Gräbner!

oedipius i had a kind of mixed expectation before sitting to watch this documentary. i know that, haschisch has a part in eastern cultures. i have heard that here in turkey, people honor their guest by offering them "chocolate". the only normal dialog of the audience takes place between the non smokers; namely the father, the son. the father has prevented his son from smoking haschisch and the son seems to have benefited from it by attending a good school. he is ambitious and found his way to escape via education and employment as an electronic engineer. escaping is the keyword. throughout the film, the act of escaping is portrayed; some smoke, some illegally pass travel to other countries, some try to marry European woman etc. director of this documentary has chosen a meaningful path for filming haschisch escapes. with the mind of a smoker, all the long shots of landscape, all these nonsense dialogs between workers makes a sense in someway. a film about haschisch should be a film like haschisch.

evilsatan666 A documentary that takes the viewer to the Moroccan highlands and shows all the steps from planting the seeds to harvest and preparation of haschisch.Up in the mountains, whole villages live of the small profits made by growing herbs and producing haschisch. The movie lets us meet them and follow them to work. We get to see them work in the treshing process in which the flowers are crushed and pressed through a sieve, how the powder is compressed into chunks and packaged for export and consumption.We also get to see a whole lot of stoned mountain people, happy, but probably with rather black lungs, do other work, play and socialize. All in all an interesting documentary where we for instance learn that it takes 100kg of plants to produce 1kg of super high grade haschisch and a couple of kilos of second and third grade stuff. Muy interesting. Recommended.
