Highlighting one of the most innovative American directors, this film reveals the path traveled by the auteur from his small-town Texas roots to his warm reception on the awards circuit. Long before he directed Boyhood, Richard Linklater’s intense desire to create fueled his work outside the Hollywood system. Rather than leave Texas, he chose to collaborate with like-minded artists crafting modest, low-budget films in a DIY style. His ability to showcase realistic characters and tell honest stories was evident from his films, and others soon took notice of his raw talent.

In 1974, 24 year-old Francis Wetherbee, a bank teller who is the subject of small-town envy and gossip, disappears from her hometown of Smithville, Texas two weeks after her fiance's bank is robbed. Her car is dredged from the bottom of a local river but it yields no clues. After a vigorous but futile search for the missing woman, the authorities give up, and Francis recedes into legend--until the case is revisited nearly 40 years later when key figures in her life come forward with theories and clues surrounding her disappearance. The film then morphs from documentary style to narrative as the odyssey of Francis' life unfolds for the audience and the truth is revealed.

Документальный фильм "ДМТ: молекула Духа" - это долгожданная картина Рика Страссмана, автора книги с одноименным названием. Как рассказывает сам Рик, ДМТ заинтересовал его тем, что присутствует в теле абсолютно каждого человека. Есть вероятность, что источником ДМТ является таинственная пинеальная железа, расположенная в самом центре нашего мозга. Однако, современной медицине практически ничего не известно о роли этой крохотной железы. Декарт, например, считал ее местом нахождения самой души человека, а Восточная и Западная мистические традиции считают, что в пинеальной железе находится духовный центр.
