Clear Channel neglects its emergency system, disaster strikes, people die. Pentagon Pundits profit from the same war they promote. Fox News gets a court ruling that news does not have to be true. Rush Limbaugh incites violence, and Hate Radio rules.

Media Policy is killing people in this country. Literally. And it is killing our democracy, too. Corporate financed lawmakers have stacked the media policy deck against We the People.

Intelligent and engaging, the documentary 'Tricky Bidness' looks at marijuana from the the point of view of people who have lived with it in their community for over 40 years.

The film tells the story of how the progressive City of Arcata, California has tried to balance the rights and needs of medical marijuana patients with the preservation of neighborhoods and community.

As marijuana moves towards the mainstream after 75 years of federal prohibition... the question becomes not if it will be legalized, but how to legalize it.
