The doorway to death is the last great frontier in a human life. Intellectually, we all know our lives will end, and yet - in the Western world at least - we act as if death is a mirage, disappearing the closer we move towards it. Two doctors in Australia are using psilocybin to help ease the anguish of their patients at end-of-life, and the results they have seen are truly remarkable.

But this visioning tool, like other plant medicines, is not new, it comes from ancient traditions. When the doctors journey to the Amazon to experience traditional medicines for themselves they are confronted by realisations they have no explanation for. Is it possible the world’s oldest cultures have something important to teach us, not just about traditional medicines, but about death itself?

This is not new knowledge; this is lost knowledge.

This groundbreaking documentary offers a rare and deeply moving journey into how ancient knowledge and modern science can come together to reframe end-of-life care. With breathtaking cinematography and intimate access to patients, Australian practitioners and healers, this film is a spiritual, emotional, and scientific exploration of life, death, and the healing power of nature.

Following the Opening Night Live Virtual Q&A the film will have an exclusive One week season at Luna Leederville + Luna on SX , screening Friday 14 Nov to Wed, 19 Nov at 100pm & 7.00pm.
