Public Enemy Number One is a 2019 American documentary film directed by Robert Rippberger and produced by Rippberger, Chris Chiari, and Ice-T. It looks at the war on drugs from 1968 until today and looks at trigger points in history that took cannabis from being a somewhat benign criminal activity into a self-perpetuating constantly expanding policy disaster. The film won Best Documentary Feature at the Seattle Film Festival,[1] and Storyteller Award and Best Producer at Doc LA - Los Angeles Documentary Film Festival.[2] It was released on various over-the-top media services after a limited theatrical release.[3]
