On this week\\u2019s podcast, Lancaster Farming talks to Jordan Berger, a filmmaker and hemp farmer from Tennessee. His work with the crop has inspired him to embark on a seven-part documentary series to bring the story of hemp to a wider audience.

In 2019, Berger grew his first hemp crop, about an acre of CBD plants at his small farm outside of Chattanooga. He said he learned a lot from growing the crop and talking to other farmers.

\\u201cIt became clear to me that I needed to make something,\\u201d he said. \\u201cYou know, I\\u2019m always asking what could I do? What kind of impact could I make, either as a farmer or a filmmaker? To me, it\\u2019s really clear that I could make a bigger impact making a film about (hemp) that the masses could digest and understand and get excited about.\\u201d

Apparently, this documentary is the first of its kind.

\\u201cIt\\u2019s just surprising to me that we\\u2019re in 2022 and there\\u2019s not anything out there like this,\\u201d he said. \\u201cMost of the cannabis documentaries are all kind of caught up in pot culture or, you know, are only scratching the surface. And there\\u2019s so much more to tell.\\u201d

This summer, Berger is embarking on a cross-country road trip to document the burgeoning industry, visiting hemp farms and processing facilities to interview the people who are building this industry.
