I attended the screening of 420 at the Awareness Film Festival in Santa Monica and would like to add my 2 cents by saying this was the best pot documentaries I've seen (and I've seen several). At first, I wondered how anyone could fill 90 minutes with 420 events or the history of 420, but I was pleasantly surprised that the first third of the film cleverly pulls the viewer in by having young people address the camera (addressing our leaders/politicians/adults) and make it clear that they are sick of being lied to. Then, we get to see the lies for ourselves. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but the editor did a great job showing footage of lying politicians, like Congressman Rangel saying the law doesn't arrest anyone in Manhattan for pot - after we've seen footage of a young kid that was killed for a small amount of weed. The entire 90 minutes unfolds with endless lies exposed until one is left with nothing but the naked truth. Whether you are a pot enthusiast or not - don't miss this film!
