I worked on this film; creating an animated short film also called "Acapulco Gold", based from a song by the same name. This was a hand drawn traditional made on 16mm film. The Director of this animation: Arnie Wong, with his team of artists: Jack Tom, Mark Matsuno, Ron Wong, Joey Valera, Phyllis Wong, Annabelle Valledor, Wendy McPhee, and many others forgotten, worked tirelessly for 6 months to complete this work of love in 1971. For the time period, this was a major breakthrough and radical in content. Smoking marijuana was illegal and a generation of hippie teenagers were breaking the law in mass. This film depicted the various ways one could get marijuana; harvesting, cultivating, or smuggling it across the border. It was shot documentary style, and all the characters in the film were not acting. Once you realize this, this film should be considered important historical archival footage.
