Told through the intimate lens of photographer and director Estevan Oriol (LA Originals), CYPRESS HILL: INSANE IN THE BRAIN is a smoke-filled journey across the lives and careers of the groundbreaking, genre-defying Hip Hop group, Cypress Hill. Their unique sound, influenced by their Latin roots and West Coast upbringing, was built on a movement rooted in true authenticity: from cultivating the flower, to smoking it, to rapping about it, their influence is forever burned into the musical landscape of Hip Hop as they continue to stay relevant after 30 years. Using a treasure trove of never-before-seen archival footage captured by Oriol himself, as well as images of band members B Real, DJ Muggs, Sen Dog and Eric "Bobo" Correa, CYPRESS HILL: INSANE IN THE BRAIN tells the story of a brotherhood that has withstood the test of time to create a truly original, everlasting legacy.

A deeper look through the smoke clouds on the surface reveals much more than meets the eye. Go to Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 04/22/2022
This movie about the group is low on drama. But it’s filled with great music and welcome insight into some under-appreciated innovators. Go to Full Review Glenn Kenny New York Times 04/20/2022
An often engaging chronicle of the group (which has sold more than 20 million albums), one that is probably best appreciated by fans. Go to Full Review Oliver Weir The Playlist 05/15/2022

"Cypress Hill: Insane in the Brain” is a treasure trove of unseen footage, unheard mixes, and untold tour shenanigans. Oriol somehow manages to piece together the chaotic origin story of a hip-hop sensation who had no history to lead them. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
