Marc Emery, widely recognized as Canada’s leading marijuana advocate and dubbed the “Prince of Pot,” is on the brink of being extradited to the United States, where he could face a life sentence for distributing marijuana seeds. “Prince of Pot” chronicles the journey of this contentious, self-proclaimed leader of the cannabis movement as he endeavors to mobilize a legion of marijuana supporters to challenge the U.S. Federal Government and its drug enforcement agency, the D.E.A. The film delves into Emery’s distinctive life and career as a civil provocateur, tracing his path from his early days in London, Ontario, to his confrontations with the U.S. Drug Czar in Vancouver and the D.E.A. in Montreal. It also explores broader issues such as Canadian sovereignty and the integration of law enforcement in a world heavily influenced by its southern neighbor. Written by Nick Wilson.
