This is the classic Hemp for Victory movie from 1942 that was made by OUR Government. The movie was made to inspire our farmers to grow Industrial Hemp to help the USA win WWII.
Without the use of Industrial Hemp many of our fighting men and women would not have had proper shoes to wear. There some reports that say that their uniforms, most Naval riggins, most parachute riggings and more was made from Industrial Hemp.
With today's technology, many experts predict that there could be over 20,000 different products that could be made from Industrial Hemp. All of these diiferent uses and the plant could help clear our atmospere of the dangerous chemicals that have been emitted by so many different industries.
Hemp is the one and only yearly renewable resource that could be utilized to make us energy independent and yet fill ALL of our needs for paper, textiles, building products and so much more. If the USA is to become completely energy independent, Industrial Hemp will need to be one of the components to help us to reach that destination.
Ok, I'm off my soapbox. The movie is nearly 11 minutes in length. When you are watching, please keep in mind that this is from 1942. With modern technology, the processing would be much faster and the monetary value would be in the BILLIONS. Can you say no deficit?
