Healing of the Nation: Ganja in Jamaica

‘Healing of the nation’ explores the potential of ganja to be a source of healing for Jamaica. This is a story of ganja in a country where it’s been part of the culture for a century and where the herb is part of everyday life. The film explores ganja culture and connects with a cross-section of Jamaican voices, including Rastafarians, ganja farmers and a human rights lawyer.
