Over the next few weeks, Waiting to Inhale will be screened three times throughout the Bay Area. Filmmakers Jed Riffe, Maureen Gosling, Kat Covell, and Vincente Franco Announce the Bay Area premieres of "Waiting to Inhale." Award-winning film Waiting to Inhale, the first documentary on the movement to legalize marijuana as a medicine, premieres in the San Francisco Bay Area. Filmmaker Jed Riffe (Ishi, the Last Yahi, Who Owns the Past?) returns with his latest and most controversial feature length documentary yet.
Waiting to Inhale explores the battle between patients, doctors, activists and the United States government over the legalization of medical cannabis. Providing exclusive access with individuals whose powerful stories have never made it to the front pages, the filmmaker takes us inside a world where critically ill patients are arrested at gunpoint for growing the only effective medicine for their pain.
