THE MADNESS CONTINUES WITH 'GRASS'

Director Ron Mann will present "Grass," an irreverent history of the
government's war on marijuana, in person on Thursday at City North 14
Theater, as a fundraiser for the Chicago International Film Festival. The
documentary, narrated by Woody Harrelson, serves as successor of sorts to
the U.S. government's notorious anti-pot propaganda film, "Reefer Madness."

Mann will answer questions and introduce the film at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are
$12 for Cinema/Chicago members and $15 for the general public and can be
purchased by calling 312-425-9400 ext. 102, or a ticket order form can be
accessed at www.chicagofilmfestival.com.

"Grass" is presented by the Associate Board of the 38th Chicago
International Film Festival and Home Vision Entertainment.
