Rosario Dawson Boarded ‘Kiss My Grass’ Doc To Spotlight Black Women “Risking All” In Cannabis — Tribeca
As EP and narrator of 'Kiss My Grass', Rosario Dawson told Deadline seeing the war on drugs "devastate entire communities" made her want to join the doc.
As an executive producer and the narrator of Kiss My Grass, a documentary short that premiered last week at Tribeca Film Festival, exploring the underlying roots of racial injustice and inequity in the cannabis space, the actress opened up to Deadline about how seeing the war on drugs “devastate entire communities” made her want to participate in the project. “This issue is affecting everyone, and so the decision collectively as directors on this, with Mara, to have not just Black women say what’s going on, but have white people and Latina folks and different walks of life confirm that this is not just an isolated incident, is real,” added Pryor. Whitehead, who has a background in impact-driven storytelling, admitted she “didn’t understand the nuances” of racial inequity in cannabis as a white woman who grew up in Colorado, but she “was shook to my core” after meeting the women involved.
