Summary |
In the early 1960s Harvard psychology professors Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert began probing the edges of consciousness through their experiments with psychedelics. Leary became a missionary for mind altering drugs, asking us to think for ourselves, igniting a global counter-culture movement, landing in prison after Nixon called him "the most dangerous man in America". Alpert journeyed to the East becoming Ram Dass, a spiritual teacher continuing to teach a new generation and the author of the book "Be Here Now". The cinematic vision quest encourages us to ponder questions about life, drugs & the biggest mystery in the human landscape. Now, nearly 50 years later, DYING TO KNOW re-assesses the lives of two iconic figures, their work, their successes and failures, the times they lived in and their remarkable shared journey through life. "*A pensive documentary shedding light on death and dying, inner space exploration and the sweet fragility of life.*" - ***Spirituality and Practice*** |
