- I am looking for any sources of "photogenic" material relating
- to the origin of marijuana prohibition in the US. This is for
- a TV documentary, so old films like "Reefer Madness",
- newsreels of Harry Anslinger, or old hemp prohibition posters
- would be ideal.
-
- An Australian documentary filmmaker has managed to get a
- big producer here interested in a TV documentary about
- cannabis prohibition. She now needs to demonstrate the
- feasibility of finding archival material about the origins of
- hemp prohibition in the US. The kind of material used by
- Stafford to illustrate earlier editions of the Encyclopedia
- would be ideal for this purpose.
-
- The filmmaker will be visiting the US about two weeks from
- now, and I would like to arrange for her to be able to
- evaluate what kind of material is available, and report to the
- producer about the possibilities for filming later (this is a
- preliminary research trip).
-
- Any suggestions by email would be greatly appreciated.
- Because of the tight time constraints, phone numbers would be
- realy handy. Thanks in advance for any help.
