What happens when California dreaming becomes a nightmare? When people head to Humboldt County, California in search of quick riches in the form of marijuana, often times they are unaware of the price they might ultimately pay in the illegal cannabis growing capital of the United States. The area produces at least 60% of the black market marijuana crop in the US, and also leads the state in missing persons cases. The series dives into the disappearance of one of these individuals, following the trail of 29-year-old Garret Rodriguez who goes missing on Murder Mountain. His disappearance and the events surrounding the investigation into his whereabouts threaten to expose a wild, lawless place, and will forever change the local community. The area known as Alderpoint - commonly known as Murder Mountain by residents, is not only mountainous and spacious but a surreal, little corner of America. "Viewers will get an up close and personal look at a cast of isolationists, outlaws, vigilantes and other characters they won't soon forget," said Raphael Rodriguez, the Supervising Producer of "Murder Mountain" and Director of Programming and Production at FUSION. The six-part docuseries also explores Humboldt's marijuana farms - both legal and illegal - and provides a glimpse into what it takes for an outlaw farmer to cross over to the legal market. From describing the history of marijuana in the area to the current role of "trimmigrants"-people from out of town who come to work the harvest-, "Murder Mountain" unravels a place of incredible natural beauty, where marijuana has become the dominant local industry.

Shocking. Moody. Surreal. "Murder Mountain" is not to be missed.

em Português: Murder Mountain is the story of Garret Rodriguez, who left home in San Diego to seek his fortune in the marijuana fields of Humboldt County, California. Within a year he vanished, touching off a series of bloody events that still haunt local residents to this day. Set against the backdrop of marijuana legalization, Humboldt's outlaws are now speaking out for the first time about Garret's fate and the group of vigilantes who brought him home.

I think the first video you posted was just three little kids playing around, did you watch it? I don't think it has anything to do with the Murder Mountain you're referring to. I'm going to watch the one you're actually referring to, looks interesting...

The area where our farms are located has a well earned dubious reputation, very remote and off grid. The locals call it "Deadmans Flat"..We have no cell service on the farms. This is gold country and there are lots of unmarked mine shafts you could easily fall into. The county road ends miles before u get to the farm, our access is thru miles of private easement roads. The locals (and Sheriff) do not come here. I have to pay extra 'service fee' to get a septic company to come out here to pump our potty and they will only come once a month and they send an armed person along for the ride, I guess they have been shot at out here before. The only time i have seen a sheriff out here he had his lights on and was moving fast. It's still a little piece of the Wild Wild West...

How common is it to not pay your workers? Garrett got killed because his boss owed him 50K and he wanted it so he could leave; then later in the flick Jason "Dookie Bros" wouldn't pay his two workers cuz "you let it get all moldy" (they broke his window upon leaving). Jason was hitting his bong constantly, likely too loaded to supervise his workers. Why didn't he monitor his crop?

A few of the growers up here have gone to 'Burningman' in Nevada to recruit trimmers. NorCal trim season occurs right after burningman and there are a lot of single europeans there. Most of our trimmigrants this year were not Americans....;-)

I can tell you an opposite story. One of the local growers up here hired 2 laborers (brothers) to work on his farm last year on commission. They had a great season and a bumper crop, but when it came time to get paid the brothers decided they're share just wasn't big enough. So they held the farmer at gunpoint and tied him up and robbed him. Took the entire crop, all the guys cash and guns, and drove off in his pickup truck which was found abandoned in sacramento a week later....

Well idk meth..heroin whatever they were on u probably could tell. Now back to dookie...he seems like a pos maybe u should oversee ur grow periodically during the season to make sure ur workers are working seems kinda funny the timing of him wanting to embrace regulation and that was his last black market harvest. Maybe it was one more person to screw over fuck that guy
