About this movie

A feature documentary about the resurgence of psychedelics as medicine.  Psychedelics can be potent tools for getting to know who we are, who we can be. and for healing the trauma of a society that is addicted to greed and consumerism. This film dares to break the taboo surrounding psychedelic medicines, by examining and revealing their proven potential to heal and alleviate suffering on a global scale. Through interviews with the world’s foremost researchers, writers, psychologists and pioneers in psychedelic psychotherapy, the film explores the history of five powerful psychedelic substances (LSD, Psilocybin, MDMA, Ayahuasca and Cannabis) and their previously established medicinal potential.

Ratings and reviews

Keeps a scientific point of view. It's like they didn't want skeptics to lose interest, but who do you think would watch this? It wasn't necessary and held back some deep info.

This movie was really eye opening about the lies America has been fed since the 60s. It is really informative and can probably change your mind about psychedelics if you don't agree with them.

I was disappointed by the lack of scientific content, I was expecting a more serious documentary. It's okay in a general informative sense.
