Скачать или смотреть Fibres: The Roots of Industrial Hemp

Imagine a versatile, unique material that only gets stronger as it grows. A material that can be used to produce the chairs that we sit on, the walls that surround us, and the batteries in our phones. Everything from textiles to concrete, to medicine, paper and plastics.
It sounds far too good to be true, and yet, it exists.

In this documentary, we investigate the properties, benefits and applications of industrial hemp, tackling the issues of fast fashion and hemp's association with cannabis by speaking to campaigners, growers and biologists.
