United States Department of Agriculture, 1942

Hemp for Victory is an educational film promoting hemp farming in the United States. This film contains high-quality information about the Cannabis Sativa plant and large-scale hemp production for industrial use. It has the thorough-yet-entertaining feeling of a Mr. Rogers factory-tour video.

The farkinga version of the film is an improvement on previously available editions:

1) the audio and video are synced
2) the complete film is time-compressed into 10 minutes

The original version of Hemp for Victory is in the public domain because it is a production of the US government.
