Weed & Wine was a project that fell into our laps out of the blue. This documentary took us on an unexpected adventure, linking France and the United States, wine and weed, love and transmission.

Rebecca Richman Cohen, the project’s instigator and producer, knocked on our door. She was looking for a biodynamic estate run by an open-minded family in transition… That’s us!

Rebecca and her cameras landed at Mas de Libian in the summer of 2016 with a specific idea: a cinematic love letter to two plants, one honored and protected by the state, the other outlawed by the federal government.

What also fascinated Rebecca was the duality and complementarity of two types of love: for the land and for the family. It’s this blend of effort, sweat and love, both in the vineyard and between the generations, that this documentary tenderly captures.

This love letter dates from 2017. When we look at it, we think it reflects us well. Except that some things have changed since then! We won’t tell you any more, just to keep things a little more suspenseful… Because Rebecca doesn’t intend to leave it at that! You’ll be able to follow the adventures of the Thibons every eight years.

So, to discover the first part of Weed & Wine, click here. Yes, it’s not free, but it’s less than a bottle of Vin de Pétanque! And best of all, every viewing helps finance the rest of the adventure, which will begin filming in 2025. Aurélien, who doesn’t like to appear in front of the camera, is delighted, even though he looks very handsome on screen… Hélène says so, without any subjectivity whatsoever!

For the occasion, we’re swapping our “Stay alive, drink Libian!” for a “Stay alive, love Libian!” For the duration of a documentary…
