The history of agriculture must have begun 10,000 years ago with hemp, also known by its Latin name cannabis. This assumption scientists conclude from finds made in the territory of modern China. In a way, hemp has also helped write the history of mankind, in religions, wars and revolutions the plant has never been absent. This film gives an interesting insight into the tradition, cultivation and processing of this universally usable plant.
