Slated to premiere in competition at HotDocs in 2020, this 90 minute feature documentary follows two farming families, continents apart, as they aim to reinvent themselves on their own land, on their own terms. 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. The feature documentary WEED & WINE 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. Weed & Wine was directed by Rebecca Richman Cohen.
