Haschisch (DVD) - A documentary film by Daniel Grabner

Documentary film about life and hashish in North Morocco.

Synopsis:

"A small village high up in the mountains of Ketama, North Morocco. Since the centuries, the life of the people that live here is intricately tied in with the drug hashish. Hashish as daily labour, hashish as a bartering good, hashish as business, hashish as the basis and philosophy of a social system, hashish as the medium of dreams and hashish as the reason for stagnation. The film sketches a portrait of this life: a look at work and daily life; the drug; music and landscape as a metaphysical projection surface; the question of freedom in a globalized world; and at the core of the stories of the people."
