Neurons to Nirvana
Directed by Oliver Hockenhull, Mikki Willis
Produced by Mangusta Productions
A scientifically rigorous documentary that advocates for the therapeutic potential of psychedelics while critiquing institutional resistance to their study.
Through interviews with leading psychologists and scientists, Neurons to Nirvana explores the history of four powerful psychedelic substances (LSD, Psilocybin, MDMA and Ayahuasca) and their previously established medicinal potential. Strictly focusing on the science and medicinal properties of these drugs, Neurons to Nirvana looks into why our society has created such a social and political bias against even allowing research to continue the exploration of any possible positive effects they can present in treating some of today's most challenging afflictions.
