Denizens of the Moroccan village of Ketama rely for their primary source of income on a trade dealing in hashish. This documentary takes an uncompromising look at the business (which has boomed for centuries) and the lifestyle implications it has on the locals. Used as a bartering tool and held up as a way to make villagers potentially rich beyond their wildest dreams, the trade in hashish doesn't make everyone well off; many just scrape by.
