Valley of Dreams
Seven youthful people (representing the nation's 'youth') question why our government is still arresting people for mere possession of marijuana, even though our last three presidents, and many politicians smoked pot in their youth. Interspersed between a blitzkrieg of footage from massive 420 civil disobedience festivals loom ironic statements from politicos who continue to misrepresent the truth - supposedly out of concern for the very youth who have fallen prey to marijuana prohibition laws. In turn, 420 spotlights stories of college students (and others) who have been arrested, shot by police and even murdered for mere possession of pot. 420 explores the history of pot - from the 30s to present day and how the public has been duped, over and over by false propaganda and political agendas. Peppered throughout the film are numerous law enforcement retirees who provide shocking commentary and outspoken regret over a policy they helped enforce, only to realize it was a tragic mistake they hope to reverse.
