FILM SYNOPSIS
Bringing it Home tells the story of hemp’s past, present and future, of a global industry that includes textiles, building materials, food products, bio-plastics, auto parts and more. Through interviews with hemp business leaders and entrepreneurs from all over the globe, the documentary aims to magnify dialogue about hemp, in order to facilitate a transition to a more informed, sustainable and healthy future.
The documentary aims to magnify dialogue about hemp in order to facilitate America’s transition to a more informed, sustainable, and healthy future.
The film was inspired by environmentally-conscious home designer Anthony Brenner’s story to find the healthiest building material available to build a safe indoor environment for his young daughter Bailey, who has a rare genetic disorder and sensitivity to synthetic chemicals. Anthony made headlines in USA Today and CNN when he completed “America’s First Hemp House” for the former mayor of Asheville, North Carolina.
Anthony’s story is one of the inspirational tales profiled in this film that provides viewers with a new connection to the issue of toxicity in human habitats and how hemp can play a role in innovative healthy green building solutions. In Bringing it Home, we follow Anthony’s mission to build The Bird’s Nest, the world’s first hempcrete built, toxin-free residential home for his daughter and other children and adults with disabilities.
