Cannabis helps to prevent seizures by young children who suffer from epilepsy. ‘We have tried 25 medicines and diets, but nothing helps like cannabis.‘ Says the mom of little girl Lily who benefits medical weed. The use of medical weed is illegal in a lot of states in America, but it is allowed in the State of Colorado. A lot of families from all states move here to live a better live.

vpro Metropolis was a video project by Dutch broadcast organisation vpro, that ran from 2008 to 2015. Metropolis is made by a global collective of young filmmakers and TV producers, reporting on remarkable stories from their own country/city. We made a trip around the globe on one single issue: from local beauty ideals to Elvis impersonators, to what’s it like being gay, or an outcast or a dog in different cultures.
