Howard Makes His Mark

About This Movie

So, 'Howard Makes His Mark' is a quirky little doc from '99 that gives you a real peek into Howard Marks' somewhat chaotic campaign for cannabis legalization. It's not your typical political documentary; it has this raw, almost gritty feel to it. The pacing is a bit all over the place, which oddly fits Howard’s unpredictable persona. His charm and wit shine through, making you feel like you're right there with him on the campaign trail. Themes of freedom and rebellion against the system bubble up, and you can't help but get a sense of the cultural atmosphere of the time. It’s interesting how it captures both the seriousness and the absurdity of the political process, with Marks himself at the center of the storm.
