	Movies - Hemp for Victory

Hemp for Victory is a black-and-white United States government film made during the Second World War, explaining the uses of hemp. The film was made for farmers because the United States was facing a hemp shortage. The film shows a history of hemp and hemp products, how hemp is grown, and how hemp processed into rope, cloth, cordage and other products. It has now fallen into the public domain and is freely available for download on the Internet. Before 1989, the film was relatively unknown, and the United States Department of Agriculture library and the Library of Congress told all interested parties that no such movie was made by the USDA or any branch of the U.S. government. Two VHS copies were recovered and donated to the Library of Congress on May 19, 1989 by Maria Farrow, Carl Packard, and Jack Herer.
