Fishing for Ganja explores the untold connection between Jamaica's struggling fishing communities and cannabis growers. In a country where 12% of the population lives below the poverty line, many people who fish turn to cannabis cultivation to make ends meet. Fishing for Ganja dives into how cannabis income supports families, with much of it funding children's education. By cracking down on cannabis, authorities risk deepening poverty and limiting opportunities for the next generation. Fishing for Ganja is about equity, awareness, and the racial and economic realities of Jamaica's cannabis trade.
