Alex de Renzy, USA, 1972, Vinegar Syndrome, Docs

For the first couple years of his feature filmmaking career, X-rated auteur Alex de Renzy focused almost entirely on directing documentaries. His distinct style of cinéma vérité crossed with informal interviews resulted in a unique series of films exploring world cultures, as seen through underground and transgressive sex and drug lifestyles.

This ambitious examination of marijuana takes deRenzy on an international journey as he meets dealers, users, and the various lawmen out to stop them. A sometimes funny, sometimes unsettling, but constantly engrossing examination of the then burgeoning "war on drugs".
