Dr Gabor Maté has become one of the world’s most influential thinkers about addiction, trauma and childhood development on the back of books like In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, The Myth of Normal and When the Body Says No. He’s pioneered the idea of Compassionate Inquiry as a therapeutic approach, and worked for over a decade on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

A 1 de cada 5 estadounidenses se les diagnostica una enfermedad mental cada año. El suicidio es la segunda causa más común de muerte en los EE. UU. Entre los jóvenes de 15 a 24 años, y mata a más de 48,300 en los EE. UU. Y 800,000 personas en todo el mundo por año. La sobredosis de drogas mata a 81.000 personas en los EE. UU. Anualmente. La epidemia de trastornos autoinmunitarios afecta a 24 millones de personas solo en los EE. UU. Que esta pasando? Las epidemias interconectadas de ansiedad, enfermedades crónicas y abuso de sustancias son, según el Dr. Gabor Maté, normales, pero no de la manera que podría pensar

Back in 2012 I had my very first Ayahuasca ceremony and, needless to say, I was terrified. But it ended up entirely changing my life and that of my future family. Which is why I decided to revisit the medicine in 2018, participating in three Ayahuasca ceremonies over the course of one week in Costa Rica, and document the process. In the film, we tackle my personal story of trying to build London Real into a global media and transformation company while also struggling with my own disconnection from friends, family and my own species. We also dive deep into the division and tribalism currently facing all of us around the world.

A documentary about psychedelics and psychedelic experiences
Self
Humans are story-telling creatures. By thinking, we all unconsciously "author" a self-story in our heads. Most often, the characters and plot of our story is framed by negative experiences from childhood. These painful "stories" then determine our emotions, leading to unhealthy stress, and changes in body chemistry. This is how a person's self-story can turn into a stress-related illness.
Self
Western culture treats mental disorders primarily through biomedical psychiatry, but filmmakers Phil Borges and Kevin Tomlinson reveal a growing movement of professionals and survivors who are forging alternative treatments that focus on recovery and turning mental “illness” into a positive transformative experience.
