new year, new monthly film “discoveries” thread. a running tab of new-to-me movies that are at least a couple years old.

Our student reporter Shelby Bloomer spent weeks reseaching, interviewing and traveling out to different hemp businesses in western Kentucky to put this piece together, and I think she did a pretty dang good job exploring this issue. Check out the results of her labor:
