Members of the Wo/Men’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana use an ancient yet controversial medicine to confront afflictions such as epilepsy, HIV/AIDS and cancer as well as to face the end of life with strength and dignity. In this life affirming documentary patients and caregivers share their tragedies and triumphs as they make courageous choices, stand up to the federal government and demonstrate the healing potential of collective compassion. Shot over four years in Santa Cruz, California, La Vie en Verte: The WAMM Movie reminds us how important it is to fight for our right to make decisions regarding our own well-being.
