Cannabis Sets You Free is a documentary essay about activists from Slovenia, former Yugoslavia and other countries, who have dedicated their lives to cannabis use. While some have fallen foul of the law, all of them have somehow gone down the road of the cannabis revolution.

“With this film, we want to shed light on all the aspects of the future acceptance of cannabis in society, to encourage people to think and acquire information in order to form positive, informed opinions about future medical and recreational cannabis use,” says director Miha Čelar in a statement.

Cannabis Sets You Free was produced by Miha Čelar through Astral film in coproduction with RTV Slovenija, AWARD Film & Video (North Macedonia), Wolfgang & Dolly (Croatia), Mangart (Slovenia) and Kerozin (Slovenia). The film is supported by the Slovenian Film Centre. "The budget is 256,000 EUR," Miha Čelar told FNE.

Astral Film is handling world sales.

The film is scheduled for release in Slovenian cinemas by Astral film, but the date is not yet known.
