The DVD includes a re-mastered "Emperor of Hemp"; a 20-minute bonus feature containing never-before-seen interviews with Jack Herer, and "Hemp for Victory," the 14-minute US government-made newsreel promoting hemp farming during World War II.
"Emperor of Hemp" was originally released in 1999 and has been translated into French and Spanish and seen by millions around the world. It is narrated by Emmy winner Peter Coyote, with songs by Bonnie Raitt, Joe Walsh, Cheap Trick, The Rascals and Maroon5 (back when they were Kara's Flowers).
Former NORML Director Richard Cowan called "Emperor of Hemp" "fun, entertaining and powerful... it could finish the revolution Jack started." Bill Maher "loved that movie!" Paul Krassner called it "inspiring."
