Im writing an answer to another comment here about the movie. The movie isn't about dangers of smoking or history or anything the movie is about manufacturing hashish how it's done etc. There is many people out there who don't know how it is done. And for the people who know...They just know about the morocco and Moroccan hashish and are also curious about the Moroccan ways. If you want to see a movie witch tells you about the dangers of smoking weed / hashish well there are own documents for that.I would think that it would be also hard to talk about the history etc. because of the language barrier because this was a low budget documentary.

I usually don't write reviews here because of weakness in English language, but could do nothing after reading others'. Was sad to understand writers could not catch the point, so here I am.If you see the film thinking about cinematography, editorial skills and so on yes, probably there are some better films, but then you won't understand the idea, which is very well explained here. The people in the film are exactly same as in real lives. If you don't like landscapes taken, then it means you don't like Moroccan landscapes as they are shot exactly how they look in real. That's best work from the director and cinematographer in documentaries - to show everything like they really are.Seeing the film will not leave any doubts if life of the people shown is really like that or not. Seeing it you will trip through Morocco, talk to the people, real people, drink tea with them and yes, smoke some Hashish because only this way you will understand what it is all about.This is simply one of the most beautiful documentaries I have seen! No CGI, effects, deep editing, actor playing skills... this is documentary, not Star Wars.Many thanks to Daniel Gräbner!

This 'documentary' doesn't shed any light or even glimpses of insight into the matter. After all it's titled 'Hashish'. Could as well have been titled 'Chicken'. The best thing one could say about it is that there's not too much shaky-cam going on. The camera operator was way to relaxed (read stoned) for pulling that of. We learn really nothing about the commercial side, the plant, the history, or the religious side(effects) of hashish. We see endlessly bantering and bickering between some folks living on a small farm in the Rif mountains. We watch endless ramblings of a totally stoned 'philosopher' and that's about it. All in all, it looks like the filmmakers (can we call them that) not only had a good time there but had the chance to sample some of the 'really good quality material' they showed us. But then, they didn't even bother to explain how the different qualities are produced......as one of the protagonists in this documentary said: the really good stuff is dangerous. Definitely was for them documentarians!

Sadly, a pretty disappointing film. To me it seemed the filmmakers spent too much time sampling the product. Overly long, pointless landscape shots and mindless stoned musings by the locals could have been replaced with a little more hard information. It's unfortunate really because it seems like a good film was right there for the making, but the filmmakers either didn't have the ability or were too high to execute the task at hand. Because it is the only documentary on the subject (at least that I know of), I'd still recommend it to those who do have an interest, but be prepared for quite a few moments of tedium
