The success of the interview prompted us to look into the viability of doing regular media programs on the industry and on Marapharm. We have a studio, technical team and several prepared scripts. Filming is scheduled to begin May 4, 2017. Our performa indicates that millions of viewers could be reached including investors, users and those who are just interested in news of the marijuana industry. They will then also become aware of Marapharm. There will be an investor's relation and market report of Marapharm's stock activity at the end of each program.
