Documentário Parahyba Vanguarda : do pioneirismo canábico as mobilizações por novas políticas de drogas.

Abstract

This report is a course completion work (TCC) based on the documentary “Parahyba Vanguarda”. This material presents the theoretical framework that supported the theme of the video and also the creation processes: pre-production, production and post-production. The work proposes a record of the existing mobilizations and articulations in Paraíba around therapeutic marijuana, as well as the understanding of the state in its vanguard position and reference in this discussion at the national level. Intending a transversal approach, we also place the problematic of the prohibitionist system and its blouses in the various spheres of the social field, from the right to health to the mass incarceration of black and poor people. For this, documentary and bibliographical research and semi-structured interviews were carried out with some of the main actors linked to the Paraíba experience of questioning the current drug policy. The end result is a journalistic documentary available online.
