Government Grown: How Polo Illinois Helped Win the War is a new short documentary film
about the "Hemp for Victory" program created by the U.S. government during World War II.
The film examines one small Illinois town that participated in the program.
Many farmers in and around Polo raised hemp as a war effort,
and the local historical society in town has documented that era.
Residents of the town who grew hemp or recollect the episode were interviewed for the film.
