About this movie

a.k.a. Tommy Chong chronicles the entrapment and incarceration of the comedy icon from legendary duo, Cheech and Chong. Chong was sentenced to 9 months in federal prison for conspiracy to manufacture and distribute drug paraphernalia through his family business, specializing in handmade glass water pipes, or bongs. The film provides a charming portrait of a counter culture icon set against the backdrop of a War on Drugs gone horribly awry.
