DOCUMENTARY SCREENING: HIGHER POWER
Congratulations to Rafi Crockett, Executive Producer of Higher Power for being a winner of the 420 Week event contest! Join us at the Angelika Pop-Up at unit Market for a screening and talk with the producers of award-winning documentary Higher Power.
Higher Power uses the stories of Black Washingtonians navigating this gray space while fighting to enter the legal cannabis industry to reveal the stark reality of 700,0000 disenfranchised American citizens and the urgent need for D.C. Statehood. It explores how the D.C. Home Rule Act of 1973 marginalized D.C.’s Black community. It profiles Black cannabis and wellness entrepreneurs serving the community through the gray market and Black-owned licensed medical dispensaries juggling the impacts of a global pandemic and competition from unregulated operators. Higher Power shows how the federal government’s control of the District has made a challenging process almost insurmountable, bolstering the case for D.C’s right to self-rule.
Join DC Vote and DC Justice Lab for this very special screening and talk!
Location: Angelika Pop-Up at Union Market - 550 Penn Street, NE
Time: 7:00pm
