Apparently I’m in a SIFF movie tomorrow night, and Joel Connelly notes my attire:
“Evergreen: The Road to Legalization in Washington,” is an 86-minute documentary on how our voters finally decided it was time to exercise a modest use of intelligence…
“Evergreen” features a dour journalist — Jonathan Martin of The Seattle Times — who hedges his prediction on whether I-502 would win. (It swept to victory with 55.7 percent of the vote.) Steve Sher, interviewing on KUOW Radio, asks questions that could not penetrate a sheet of tissue paper.
In contrast, there are the original, revealing, amusing observations from Dominic Holden, news editor at The Stranger and a former Hempfest boss, on how ex-lawmen and civic pillars became advocates for marijuana legalization. (Friends of Holden will note his inevitable attire, a much-worn World Wildlife Fund T-shirt with a faded panda.)
I really gotta chuck that old thing. Showtimes are here.
