Imagine that you are a renowned chemist, who invents a legal psychoactive drug. Imagine that you push it as a start-up and become the most notorious drug baron of the 21st century. Imagine that all of this is true. How to make a documentary out of this unbelievable story? Let’s animate it, give it rhythm and take the audience on a journey where the high-tech world and academia meet the fauna of the Haifa underworld.

Made with a cutting-edge animation technique, the film is a first-person recollection of the protagonist’s adventure through enjoyable, surprising, and scary moments, that make the audience gasp – “What a ride!”

“King Khat” is a dark, funny and true fairy tale that grabs you from the very first image, carries you away on a hectic voyage and doesn’t let you go long after you have left the cinema.
