For decades, Devi has been breeding legendary pot strains on the remote homestead she built herself. When cannabis is legalized, she suddenly finds herself fighting for her survival.
In a tour-de-force performance that took her out of retirement, Krisha Fairchild (KRISHA, CIFF 2015) brings the timely story of a black-market grower battling to keep her farm to the screen. Featuring a heartbreaking turn by John Craven as an old flame from Devi’s commune days, and Frank Mosley and Lily Gladstone as adrift harvest workers, FREELAND is full of standout performances. Shot on off-the-grid pot farms during the actual harvest, directors Mario Furloni, and Kate McLean imbue this emotional thriller with deep and empathetic authenticity.
