MA will be coinciding their campaign launch with a series of films at San Marcos Public Library on Sept 11 as part of the 5th annual Lost River Film Fest. At 5:30 PM the cannabis decriminalization block will begin. Hays County officials contemplate decriminalization of cannabis locally, and San Marcos celebrates one year of enactment of Texas’ only Cite & Release Ordinance.

These films examine the needless harm & wasted opportunities of cannabis criminalization, followed by a panel of policy experts. Films will include
GREEN REVOLUTION (San Anto, 14 min) – Interviews with cultivators, policymakers & scientists reveal an impending global implication of the budding cannabis industry;
LEGALIZE TEXAS: MAKING THE CASE FOR CANNABIS (TX & Colorado, 40 min) – TX State Senator Roland Gutierrez ventures to the Centennial State to document the multifold benefits of legal cannabis, not just to entrepreneurs but military veterans, patients & their loved ones, craving the best possible medical care for healing & recovery;
NOT JUST ANOTHER DAY (Cali, 16min) – In 2015, aspiring chef Lionel Tate was one of 142,000 Black Americans arrested for pot possession. Facing felony charges, sudden homelessness & crippling debt, his story reflects unequal impacts on people of color from cannabis criminalization, while in other parts of the nation predominantly white business owners rake in serious profit from a booming, legal industry.

The total runtime will be 1 hr 10 min. Mano Amiga encourages whoever wishes to attend to do so as the even it free of charge.
