Title: 

Medical marijuana documentary, Code of the West, to screen in four Montana communities

Message: 

Code of the West, a new documentary following the Montana medical marijuana debate, is launching its Montana screening tour. Screenings and post-film panel discussions with prominent community leaders, patients, and activists will take place in Missoula, Bozeman, Helena, and Billings during the weeks of May 13 and 20.

Set against the sweeping vistas of the Rockies, the steamy lamplights of marijuana grow houses, and the bustling halls of the State Capitol, Code of the West follows the 2011 Montana State Legislature as it debates the fate of medical marijuana. Once a pioneer in legalizing medical marijuana, Montana considers becoming the first state in the nation to repeal its medical marijuana law. Code of the West tells the story of both the legislative process and the human lives and emotions behind it.

Screenings for each of the cities are as follows:
