"A sober, curious case for psychedelics as medicine"
A four-part documentary based on Michael Pollan's book, tracing the science and history of psychedelic substances like LSD, psilocybin, MDMA and mescaline. Each episode pairs Pollan's own curious, first-person narration with researchers, therapists and people whose lives were changed by psychedelic-assisted therapy for depression, addiction and trauma. It's calm, thoughtful and visually trippy in places, more measured lecture than wild ride. The pace is deliberate and information-dense, but the human stories keep it grounded and genuinely moving rather than clinical.
Michael Pollan's thoughtful narration grounding the science in real, moving human stories.
you want a fast-paced or visually wild trip rather than a measured science documentary.
