The next time you will be able to catch this compelling flick co-directed by myself, Melissa Balin and the infamous author & Hemperor himself, Jack Herer, starring the hilarious Ralphie May, Imagen Winner Yvonne “99” DeLaRosa, life coach Rochelle Balin, Pauley Perrette of NCIS fame, and Money Mark, the world-renowned keyboard player for the Beastie Boys; will be at select film festivals around the world, private screenings in dispensaries and coffee shops in California and Amsterdam, and at Free Eddy Lepp rallies worldwide- so join our political action groups, & social networking groups to sign the Global Hemp Initiative and find out when and where you can host a JackHerer.Com Viewing Party for the Emperor short in your town! 

Jack Herer is determined to free all prisoners of this senseless “War”, including our mutual buddy and the film’s Executive Producer, Vietnam Veteran and Rastafarian minister, Reverend Eddy Lepp, who was sadly missed from both the premiere festivities and the Day After 420 Magazine’s private screening & Cast Q&A at the 99 High Art Gallery & Collective, guest moderated by Co-Producer and 420 Magazine Founder, Rob “420” Griffin and you guessed it, yours truly!  Lepp bravely surrendered himself to Lompoc Prison (July 6, 2009), to serve a 10-year sentence, that the presiding judge herself called “excessive”, for his growth of medical marijuana under the governances of California State Law.  Herer has suffered from a debilitating stroke, but he tours relentlessly to speak at events like Seattle HempFest, attended by hundreds of thousands of the enlightened, who are anxious to cast his message to an even wider audience.

Jack explains enthusiastically, “Until the 19th Century, over 50% of all foodstuffs and 80% of all fibers worldwide were made from Hemp.  Hemp is the only thing that can save our planet and the American people are being fed antiquated misinformation through fear-mongering.  We have dedicated our lives to getting the truth heard and we hope that this documentary will bring the information forward to a new generation.  The time for change is NOW.”  More information on how you can help Free Eddy Lepp can be found at FreeEddyLepp.Com   

The doc was shot by the incredibly talented cinematographer, Eric Adkins (of Sky Captain & The World Of Tomorrow), edited by my brother and post production workflow guru,  Brandon Balin, and features original music by DJ Dre Ghost of Hip Hop For Hemp, and Hemp Hemp Hooray!  Drumroll please… producer for the Hemptastic Bone Thugs-N-Harmony!  Thanks to the overwhelming support pouring in from celebs & activists around the world, the greenlight from International sponsors Green House Seed Co. and Advanced Nutrients, and our Talent Executive and Hollywood Casting Director, Aaron Griffith, we have already begun development on a feature length documentary version of The Emperor Wears No Clothes, featuring all of the super famous celebrities that you always knew were ready to take a stand to Save The Planet!

A $100k Challenge To The World To Prove Us Wrong:

If all fossil fuels and their derivatives, as well as trees for paper and construction were banned in order to save the planet, reverse the Greenhouse Effect and stop deforestation; Then there is only one known annually renewable natural resource that is capable of providing the overall majority of the world’s paper and textiles; meet all of the world’s transportation, industrial and home energy needs, while simultaneously reducing pollution, rebuilding the soil, and cleaning the atmosphere all at the same time… And that substance is – the same one that did it all before – Cannabis, Hemp… Marijuana!
