Production

edit

Capper followed Snoop Dogg around Jamaica for a month in 2012, filming him meeting with Bunny Wailer, smoking marijuana, and recording the companion album. Snoop Dogg had asked Vice Films to participate, as according to Capper, "...Snoop is a big fan of our stuff. He'd seen documentaries I'd made before like The Vice Guide to Liberia and Swansea Love Story. He'd seen Heavy Metal in Baghdad."
