The Doctor documentary brings the story of Franjo Grotenherman, a pioneering doctor, researcher, and cannabis medicine advocate since the 1990s, into sharp focus. This award-winning documentary emphasises the dedication, tenacity, and empathy of a doctor who, against all odds, successfully advocated for patient rights to cannabis medicine in Germany. An estimated 100,000 people currently receive cannabis-based medicines on prescription in Germany. The film illustrates how Franjo’s leadership created and sustained a scientific and medical network, that advanced cannabis medicine in Europe and North America.
Yewande Okuleye is a medical historian and scholar-activist. Her PhD (sponsored by GW Pharmaceuticals), examined the emergence of cannabis medicine by tracing the global trajectories of activists, scientists, and medical networks. Her research and public engagement are focused on the intersection of race, health equity, and social justice for cannabis and psychedelic medicines. Yewande is an inclusion, participation, and engagement fellow at the University of London (Institute of languages, cultures, and societies). Her project examines the way language and participatory research methods are mobilized to co-create health, and well-being strategies for marginalized communities.
