A documentary about famed marijuana legalization activist, Marc Emery, the self-styled 'Prince of Pot'. In 2005 Emery was arrested by the U.S. DEA, charged with trafficking pot seeds over the Internet and convicted of international drug trafficking. A Canadian citizen, Emery was extradited to the U.S. to serve five years in federal prison. In Canada at that time, the penalty for selling marijuana seeds was a fine. But Emery's incarceration, this film suggests, does not constitute a simple miscarriage of justice. It rather fulfills Emery's complex, often narcissistic vision of himself as a fierce libertarian and quasi-biblical prophet whose destiny is to defeat government. Citizen Marc wittily questions what it means to be a citizen in a post-identity, post-equality North America.
