On this week’s podcast, Lancaster Farming talks to Jordan Berger, a filmmaker and hemp farmer from Tennessee. His work with the crop has inspired him to embark on a seven-part documentary series to bring the story of hemp to a wider audience. In 2019, Berger grew his first hemp crop, about an acre of CBD plants at his small farm outside of Chattanooga. He said he learned a lot from growing the crop and talking to other farmers. “It became clear to me that I needed to make something,” he said. “You know, I’m always asking what could I do? What kind of impact could I make, either as a farmer or a filmmaker? To me, it’s really clear that I could make a bigger impact making a film about (hemp) that the masses could digest and understand and get excited about.” Apparently, this documentary is the first of its kind. “It’s just surprising to me that we’re in 2022 and there’s not anything out there like this,” he said. “Most of the cannabis documentaries are all kind of caught up in pot culture or, you know, are only scratching the surface. And there’s so much more to tell.” This summer, Berger is embarking on a cross-country road trip to document the burgeoning industry, visiting hemp farms and processing facilities to interview the people who are building this industry. Watch the teaser video for Jordan Berger’s documentary, “One Plant.”
