    Amazing, eye opening documentary

    I've watched this multiple times now, and every time I feel like I'm discovering something new. The animations are beautiful and compliment the interviews so well. Many of the people who are interviewed I've been following for years, such as Gabor Mate, and it was so interesting to hear things from his perspective. This doc does an amazing job of coming at the concept of psychadelics and consciousness from so many unbiased angles, I think that's why I keep coming back to watching this so often.

    A Beautiful Journey

    Having watched many documentaries on the subject of how exogenous substances interact with human consciousness I can say that this documentary takes a very refreshing perspective on this subject which, sadly, is still severely lacking in research. Hopefully this documentary and others like it will help bring this subject further into the mainstream.

    The three accounts retold in this documentary are extremely well presented with a beautifully animated visual style and moving score which all work together elevating this beyond just a film, this is an important piece of self education for those thinking about diving into the world of altering consciousness, but equally this is an audio visual piece of art. Enjoy!

    A mind-opening personal journey

    What a fantastic film - from the stories to the animations and interviews. It gave me a new perspective on the history of psychedelics and the role it might have in our (not-so) future society. I highly recommend this film to anyone interested in history, society, mental health, spirituality... the list goes on. It touches on so many aspects of our lives. Go watch it - I can't wait to see it again!

    Fantastic film that makes you consider new perspectives

    I didn't know what to expect from this film but I learnt so much. The interviews offered views and opinions I had never considered before, and the film took me into the imaginations of writers like Aldous Huxley, who I greatly admire, and whose version of the future looks to become a truth in how we chose to live and be governed. The animation is superb - stylish, smart and intriguing. A must-watch for all those interested in widening their understanding of what consciousness is.

    Inspiring

    Inspired film. It gave me a lot to think about. The format of three narrated stories interspersed with interviews works really well and the animation is stunning.
