BARRANQUILLA, Colombia,
November 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
New Colombia Resources, Inc.(OTC: NEWC) (the "Company"), a U.S.
listed Colombian resource company with premium metallurgical coal
and medical marijuana assets, is pleased to announce they will be
featured in an upcoming documentary on the country's changing
beliefs of the cultivation of medicinal marijuana and coca.
Sannabis, the company's medical marijuana joint venture, with
the help of New Colombia President John
Campo, will host a film crew at their Cauca region's
collective farms. These areas have the cooperation from its local
population, and government to medically produce products that have
known positive medicinal uses.
New Colombia Resources believes this documentary will enhance
product sales in Colombia and
abroad.
Strategik Media, based in San
Francisco, CA will bring a small film crew to interview
patients, growers, and others connected to this industry, to get a
glimpse of Colombia's complicated,
and constantly changing environment. These four filmmakers have
dedicated their time, resources and personal finances to fund this
project, in the hopes of breaking mainstream stereotypes of this
once deadly multi-billion-dollar drug market. Although
Sannabis is primarily a medical marijuana producer, New Colombia
Resources is also initiating a dive into medicinal and industrial
coca production which is where the area of focus will be on. Since
the coca plant has historically been used for physical ailments by
many indigenous groups, (who have also been aligned with the FARC),
Strategik Media feels that it's the right time to get this story.
The Coca Cola Company (NYSE: KO) still uses coca leaf extract
in their products. New Colombia believes many food products
and medicines can be produced with the coca leaf that can only be
grown in Andean nations.
This independent video production company, which was founded in
2008, has provided its services to film commercials, social events,
short films and documentaries. Strategik Media produces an online
YouTube Channel called 'SMS Show' with over 6 million views
worldwide, and over 10,000 subscribers. This venture is something
its founder James Martinez, (who
will be Co-Directing with colleague and Producer Juan Ruiz), has
always had a passion for. The film will be entered into local and
national film festivals, with the hopes of gaining larger
notoriety. The main objective of this project is to tell this
story, while the conversation about Colombia is still happening around the world,
thanks to popular shows like "Narcos." To see some examples of
Strategik Media's work, please visit

Recently, the Colombia's
Minister of Health, and other state and federal officials have gone
to these co-ops and have praised the production, and medical
benefits that Sannabis' products are showing. To view a

With the future of Colombia's
stance on medical marijuana and coca production, as well as other
domestic issues (i.e. FARC/Government peace accord), in a
constantly evolving state, understanding the full story is
something that the outside world needs to be informed of.
Additionally, New Colombia will be providing updates on the
advancements on their joint venture to apply for an orphan drug
designation with the FDA for a cannabinoid medication. The
Company is also working on getting their Form 10K audited report
filed with the SEC as soon as possible.
