"How Weed Won The West" is Kevin Booth's latest documentary on the varied and complex issues in the hemp movement. The film showcases the most recent, hot-off-the-presses, real-life situations involved in the move for hemp/ cannabis re-legalization, and deserves national attention. It's high production quality and in-depth, respectful, and honest look into the lives of the people this issue affects, puts it well above the bar of marijuana joke movies.

This is an issue that is far too important for people to sit back on any longer. Kevin's film reflects the humanity behind an often demonized and misunderstood, healing, and possibly economic panacea herb -- Cannabis Marijuana, Hemp. Used to be legal. Should be again! Great, educational, funny, and moving movie.

How Weed Won The West delves deeply into the culture and commerce of cannabis featuring California's ganja growers,medicinal marijuana patients and law reform advocates. Kevin Booth's vivid document from behind the front lines of the "war on pot" blows the lid off a multi-billion dollar industry on the verge. Danny Danko HIGH TIMES Magazine !

With California and the rest of the country going bankrupt, one business is booming. How Weed Won the West is the story of the growing Medical Marijuana industry, focusing on Los Angeles with over 700 legal dispensaries doling out the buds. Following the story of Organica, a southland dispensary which was raided by state and federal agencies in August of 2009, the film shows that although much has changed with Obama in office, the drug war is nowhere near over. Kevin Booth, producer/director of American Drug War, picks up where the last film left off and continues his fight against the hypocrisy of the War on Drugs. Intended to inform and entertain, this fast paced and even sometimes funny film features Texas conspiracy guru Alex Jones, Ethan Nadelmann head of Drug Policy Alliance, and a host of amazing characters including a former LAPD narcotics officer who now thinks all drugs should be legal.

Directed and narrated by Kevin Booth, Co-Produced by Trae Painter Booth, Special appearance by Alex Jones, Edited by Ryan Kaye, Executive Producer Eric Preven,

Ethan Nadelmann, Alex Jones, Craig X Rubin, William Kroger, Theresa Blaylock, Jeff Joseph, Don Duncan, Kyle Kazan, Bret Bogue, Freeway Ricky Ross, Shelly Martinez, T. Rodgers, Darryl Lucky Rodgers, Slipknot-Cory Taylor, DJ Sid, Rudy Reyes, Rev Paul Cody, Dr. Michael Morris, New Jersey Weed Man- Ed Forchion, Richard Eastman, Mac Lindsay, Dr. Edward Alexander, Mary Taylor


This is a must-see film because it destined to become an icon of the marijuana anti-prohibition movement. Even to someone who has not consumed weed in decades, this film definitely opens anyone's eyes concerning the detrimental economic, social and human ramifications created by marijuana prohibition.

It takes the viewer through a journey of real life stories involving the relatively new California legal marijuana industry using a refreshing angle which does not focus strictly on the medicinal value of marijuana. The widespread responsible consumption of marijuana for personal recreation and mood enhancement is addressed as well.

While there are many light and entertaining moments which are implied by a somewhat playful title, the subject matter and the production values of this film give it a serious historical position as an iconic mainstream documentary film.

Money as Debt II Explores the baffling, fraudulent and destructive arithmetic of the money system that holds us hostage to a forever growing DEBT ... and how we might evolve beyond it into a new era.

Cree Indian Proverb


'And it seems to me perfectly in the cards that there will be within the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing … a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods.'

Aldous Huxley, 1959



'I know the secret of making the average American believe anything I want him to. Just let me control television.... You put something on the television and it becomes reality.

In an investigation of some of the most puzzling UFO sightings in Soviet history, we uncover the work of an underground network of UFO believers and reveal a clandestine 13-year government investigation of UFOs in this UFO Files Documentary called 'Soviet UFO Secrets Revealed' aired on the History Channel.

Many Russian UFO enthusiasts believe that proof of alien encounters exists, but is being hidden from them! We also meet George Knapp, an American broadcast journalist who travelled to Russia in the early 1990s and believes there's a treasure trove of KGB UFO files that remain top-secret.

Soviet UFOs



The Russians approached the subject of UFOs with the utmost seriousness and attention to detail. Boris Sokolov, a retired Russian colonel ran an in-depth study in 1980. "For 10 years," Sokolov said, "the entire Soviet Union became one gigantic UFO listening post."

There were 40 cases where pilots encountered UFOs, explained Sokolov. Initially, they were commanded to chase, then shoot the UFO. But when the pilots engaged, the UFO would speed up. On two occasions, pilots gave chase, lost control and crashed, with the crew killed on impact. After these unfortunate incidents, the pilots received another order: When they saw a UFO they should change course - and get out.


On October 5, 1983 Sokolov received an order from his commander to leave immediately for the Ukraine. A report from the base commander to the Chief of the General Staff claimed that the day before, from 4 until 8 in the evening, a UFO had been observed near the base. During that time, the missile launch codes had mysteriously been enabled. How this happened has never adequately been explained.

Dr Rimili Avramenko, a Russian scientist revealed that during the Vietnam War, a massive UFO flew over Hanoi. Although every major weapon in that city had its sights set on the craft, it didn't budge.

UFO sightings by Soviet cosmonauts are not uncommon. Unlike American astronauts' reluctance to talk about the subject, Soviet references to UFOs were reported from the very beginning, with Yuri Gagarin himself. In documents, Gagarin is quoted as saying UFOs are real, they fly at incredible speeds and that he would tell more about what he had seen in orbit - provided he be given permission to do so.

According to Cosmonaut Mus Manarov on the 1991 Mir Mission: “It happened during a visit mission, when all our attention was focused on the slowly approaching space capsule… It is possible that it was a kind of UFO.”

Yuri Andropov, the former Soviet leader and long-time head of the KGB, had an acute personal interest in UFOs and ordered a 13-year programme that required every soldier in the military to monitor sightings over Russian territory.

Through Andropov's personal interest, in 1978, two committees were established to investigate UFOs, one military and one civilian. Andropov ordered four million Soviet soldiers to file detailed reports of incidents.

According to some sources, the programme led to hundreds of thousands of sightings being recorded in the 13 years before it was abandoned with the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1990.

It's been over a year now we moved to Goa and we've been seeing these anomalous lights show up in the sky quite synchronistically, somehow in tune with our thoughts and feelings ... showing up sometimes when we ask them to ! Couple of months back we saw this bar shaped bright light in the sky just before sunset at around 7:00 pm ... It slowly began to change shape from what looked like a long bar / tube to a small ball and carried on moving slowly till it disappeared from view ... Soon after we see a Jet flying in exactly the same direction as the light ... :)

Last year on the 11th of November (11:11:11), while i was outside the village Chapel looking up at the sky ... I was thinking of the huge Football Field right opposite and was wondering how perfect a place it was for a big spaceship to land ... just as i had these random UFO thoughts I looked up and saw to my amazement a bright white ball of light moving North right in line with the Cross above the Chapel ... as i ran in to call someone to check it out, it was gone ... :)

Sometime last year on the South Anjuna Beach, outside Shiva Valley ... Srinath, a friend from Hyderabad and i saw this bright light moving in the sky right above Shiva Valley ... approaching a big white cloud ahead ... as it carried on moving towards the cloud I told Srinath it was going to go behind the clouds now and let's see if it reappears ... it didn't :)

A friend of mine called Ashley who lives close by has also seen these lights on many occasions and this time he managed to get something on his phone camera ... Soon after watching a Football match late at night, Ashley was standing next to his window when he saw a light moving in the sky. I requested him to jot down his experience ... Here is what he had to say about it ....

I was watching the football match. when the match ended i went 2 my room opened the window 2 have a smoke... when i saw a small light appear in the sky.... it was a very cloudy night and it was raining... so it could not be a star or the moon... so i decided 2 click a picture.... before i clicked the image from my cell..... i just stopped 2 think if i could get an image on camera... because all the other times they just disappear..... just then i see the light getting brighter and brighter.... it then starts to change shape and move.... so i clicked the picture on my cell phone..... and it disappeared after that.

The light looks brighter than the moon and is elongated towards the sides like the planet Saturn with it's rings or like a Pleiadian Beamship as photographed by Billy Meier in his ongoing contact with the Pleiadians ...








A similar light was captured by another eye witness and UFO researcher in this video ...

"When You're Strange" is a 90 minute documentary film on "The Doors" ... One of the first ever made about them ! The crowd-pleasing movie has been featured at the Sundance, Berlin, Deauville and San Sebastian Film Festivals and most recently played to sold-out shows at the Santa Barbara Film Festival.

Produced by Wolf Films/Strange Pictures, in association with Rhino Entertainment, and released by Abramorama.


“They say if you remember the ‘60s you weren’t there,” said producer Dick Wolf. “I can state definitively that one of the things I do remember is buying THE DOORS first album the day it came out and then listening to it about ten or twelve times in a row. Both sides. Every song. I’ve been a fan ever since. This movie is the story of the band but it is also an insight into a moment in time that will never be repeated.”

WHEN YOU’RE STRANGE uncovers historic and previously unseen footage of the illustrious rock quartet and provides new insight into the revolutionary impact of its music and legacy. Directed by award-winning writer/director Tom DiCillo and narrated by Johnny Depp, the film is a riveting account of the band’s history.

Said Depp, “Watching the hypnotic, hitherto unreleased footage of Jim, John, Ray and Robby, I felt like I experienced it all through their eyes. As a rock n’ roll documentary, or any kind of documentary for that matter, it simply doesn’t get any better than this. What an honor to have been involved. I am as proud of this as anything I have ever done.”

The film reveals an intimate perspective on the creative chemistry between drummer John Densmore, guitarist Robby Krieger, keyboardist Ray Manzarek and singer Jim Morrison — four brilliant artists who made The Doors one of America’s most iconic and influential rock bands. Using footage shot between the band’s 1965 formation and Morrison’s 1971 death, WHEN YOU’RE STRANGE follows the band from the corridors of UCLA’s film school, where Manzarek and Morrison met, to the stages of sold-out arenas.
