Born on June, 24th 1967 in Wuppertal, Oliver Becker went shortly after the German Revolution in 1989 to Dresden. He saw there, like no other human, the emergence of the first alternative cafes.

 

He worked at the still exists café “Die Hundert”, (in the movie “The twelve”) and he saw a lot of skinhead attacks at this time. His multicoloured Wolga was used as squad car to inform the new alternative cafes about skinhead meetings.

 

As 22 year old man he used his commercial feeling and he sold at Dresden market, as well as Christmas market, plastics quartz watches, chocolate Santa Claus and cuddly toys.

 

He had to smuggle bundles of east mark to West Berlin. Around the train station “Bahnhof Zoo” was at this time the black market for money exchange. 

 

In the film script with the working title „Let’s go East!“ flowed many of these experiences, which makes the purchase of the reality recognizable.

 

In a further film script, which is now in the developing phase, he shows the nineties hemp movement. He saw, like no other human, the things happened, with all heights and depths.

 

He opened in 1991 the Gecko Headshop in Wuppertal and became Germany’s first hemp seed wholesale dealer.  He became one of the main persons in the “Legalize it movement” after the authorities took his still legal hemp seeds away.

 

As founders of the registered association „hemp as a useful plant” (H.A.N.F.e.V.), co-worker of the first Dutch hemp store C.I.A. (Cannabis in Amsterdam) and as well known guerrilla farmer he did a very good research work about the background of the hemp prohibition.

 

In a thriller the spectator will know the true background about the prohibition. After the movie you will not know which is true and which is wrong: What they tell us - or what the film tells?!?

 

An unbelievable story, which clears up with the past and animate to do something for the rescue of the earth.

 

Since May 2003 Oliver lives in Holywood (Heiligenwald – Germany). Since 2005 he is married with Najat, has a son David Elias (24.03.2006) and one daughter Laura Sophie (14.09.2007).
