1-Cannabis lands
Directed by G.Marcon (2019)
Exclusively, just for Terre's friends: we present the entire film to you.
Synopsis:
When Jacopo left Abruzzo he was young and could not tolerate that land of so many silences and no opportunities. But in his travels around the world, between successes and failures, he developed a crazy idea: to transform Abruzzo into the largest hemp field in the world. Madness, in fact, because cannabis is surrounded by suspicion and preconceptions, even today when it has come back into fashion thanks to the spread of "cannabis light", a therapeutic product used in medicine all over the world.
So, together with his lifelong friends, he formed a team of people who, like him, believed in that dream. People like Luca and Fabrizio, two boys who live in Acciano, a semi-abandoned village at the foot of the Sirente that is still trying to heal its wounds from the earthquake. Two Abruzzo people who chose to stay while everyone else was leaving: some to Pescara, some to Bologna, some to Germany. Not them, they were left to struggle daily with the absence of work and hope. Then there are people like the Neapolitans Gennaro and Zio Peppe, travelers of life looking for a new place to stop; there is Antonio the handyman, a family friend of Jacopo, and finally Nino, the only real farmer of the group, who at the age of seventy started growing cannabis because "we did '68 but we didn't smoke joints , but now that I know that this herb can cure someone I immediately accepted.” They are all ordinary people looking for something and their are life stories that sprout together with those green plants with richly scented flowers. Stories of research, of redemption, of never-ending battles to find work.
Jacopo knows that the area in which he was born is difficult, like the people who live there. A place that has suffered massive depopulation since the 1950s and where job opportunities are scarce. But at the same time he knows that he will also have to fight against prejudice about cannabis. And the weapons to fight against these hardships are the same ones that have been handed down in agriculture for millennia: commitment, dedication and patience. Only in this way can the earth open up. Then, people will open up with her.
Thus the adventure of Jacopo and his companions takes off, expanding the size of the company and creating new opportunities, to the point of attracting immigrant workers who are also fighting a battle against prejudice. And continuing, day after day, to chase the dream of transforming Abruzzo into a green and rich land, where silence is just a restful break between hard days of work.
