Howard Marks: The Real Mr Nice - Trailer

“The Real Mr Nice” is now available to pre-order on DVD and Blu-ray at www.pledgemusic.com/projects/howardmarks

Featuring never-seen-before footage from Howard Marks’ 1970s home movies and secretly filmed clips of his adventures, “The Real Mr Nice” lays bare the truth about one of the world’s most famous counterculture heroes.

For the very first time Howard has granted access to his highly organised, and extraordinarily eclectic personal archive, allowing director Sam Rowland complete freedom to digitise illuminating scenes from 100s of hours of footage.

Featuring interviews with hitherto unknown collaborators in Howard’s hashish empire, previously illusive and unlikely candidates have finally come out of the woodwork as they watch the war on drugs recede. Their strange tales reveal the often hilarious inside story of the real Cheech and Chongs.

Studying all aspects of the once notorious smuggler, “The Real Mr Nice” shines a light on sides of Howard’s life and personality not previously revealed to the media – his hobbies, academic endeavours, family life, friendships and 1970s career in music production.
