The foundations for the Grow Jamaica movie can be found in a book coauthored by Leeroy Campbell and Janice Campbell. Food, fuel, fiber and medicine are the four words that adorn the front cover of the text. They represent a summarized version of the co authors' exploration into the many benefits that the plant offers its users. The film makers essentially take this stance and create a motion picture version.
A film cannot exist without a cast and this one is no exception to this rule. A dynamic cast helps to spread the message which is essentially the value of marijuana. One of the authors of the text Leeroy Campbell is among the cast. He is joined by Oliver Samuels, a star player in Jamaica's acting industry and Stephen Marley a reggae star and actor who himself hails from fame with a Robert Nesta Marley (or Bob Marley) for a father.
The film is a part of a wider campaign to accumulate widespread support for and acceptance of this plant, which also goes by the name cannabis, for its many benefits. The ideas supported in the film are rooted in numerous scientific studies. The other arms of the campaign include the book and the website created to provide the wider public with information about the goodness of marijuana.
The use of Marijuana, which is known as cannabis and for the local Jamaican population, herb, is not legal on the island. This is typically a shocking revelation for many outsiders who have come to associate the island with smoking the controversial plant. There is a group of advocates however, who are encouraging the island's legislators to decriminalize its use.
The structure of the film reflects the diversity of the plant itself. It is basically a documentary designed to inform enlighten and entertain at the same time. It consist of a number of interviews, some executed on the streets of Jamaica to give an idea of how the layman views the plant. Others are conducted in offices and in residential communities with middle to upper class interviewees who represent expert opinions on the subject of decriminalization.
It is a one hour film which makes it fairly easy to watch. Additionally, it may be accessed on DVD. The DVD version is great for those who want to be able to view the documentary at their own convenience. Educators and marijuana promoters may also use it for its educational content.
The film's goal is to promote the plant and move the island one step closer to the realization of Dr. Campbell's dream revolution. Dr. Campbell envisions the day when Jamaican society has been so revolutionized that the plant is freely grown and used everywhere. This is of course dependent on the removal of social and legal restrictions that currently inhibit its use.
The potential of the Grow Jamaica movie to change the way the world views marijuana cannot be denied. Those who view it with an open mind are bound to emerge with an inspired and refreshed views on the controversial herb. It is truly foremost among the most effective elements of the pro marijuana campaign.
