great documentary. I have so much respect for this talented performer after watching this.

In the midst of a new "war on terror," Ashcroft and the sniveling sycophant Mary Beth Buchanan wasted $12 million dollars going after people selling bongs. 55 people were charged - Tommy Chong was the ONLY person without a prior criminal history who received jail time. He was targeted by the Attn. General's office. why? Because he made money satirizing people who smoked a lot of pot - and then made money selling smoking accessories.

If you want to know why the WoD is a failure - watch this. After Chong's arrest and imprisonment - more people than ever admire this man who sacrificed his personal freedom to protect his family from a govt. gone Big Brother.

It's interesting to hear Chong's history, too, and the discrimination he faced as a mixed race child.
