[Jon Hart · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jack Moves delivers a deep dive into the world of a weed entrepeneur, from dealing out of one's house to promoting large-scale conventions. It's powerful, often frightening material, particularly the weed dealing episodes, which I had trouble pulling myself away from. (I finished within a 24-hour period with breaks.) I won't spoil, but I will say that some of the encounters turned violent. Ultimately, Jack Moves is raw and riveting and left me wanting more.
