Somewhere Higher

About This Movie

Somewhere Higher is a thoughtful documentary that dives into the complex terrain of cannabis culture in Michigan post-legalization. It's not your typical puff piece. The film captures the nuances of stigma surrounding recreational use, with a quiet intensity that lingers. The pacing feels almost meditative at times, allowing viewers to ponder the evolving landscape of social acceptance. While it doesn't shy away from the legal aspects, it’s the personal stories that stand out — real people sharing their highs and lows. Distinctively, it employs practical effects to illustrate the emotional highs of consumption, contrasting them with societal pressures. It’s a layered exploration that resonates, inviting reflection rather than just observation.
