In daydreaming about unlikely relationships, the flower - as delicate as it is revolutionary - represents an act of love amidst the suffocation and embrace of a classic Portuguese neighborhood.
Join the Club - Audience Award for Best Feature
Dennis Peron is San Francisco's biggest pot dealer. But when the AIDS epidemic sweeps through his community, Peron realizes that marijuana is more than a good time—it’s medicine.
