MORE THAN MEDICINE: The Rise of Psychedelic Therapy to Premiere at Woodstock Film Festival Oct 17th

Eight years in the making, the documentary follows the people working to bring psychedelic therapy into

mainstream mental health care, and the human relationships at the heart of the treatment.

Featuring perspectives from Dr. Julie Holland, Dr. Albert Garcia-Romeu, Dr. Michael & Annie Mithoefer, Rick Doblin, and Dr. Carl Hart, among others.

A timely and deeply human film about trust, healing, and the future of mental health care.
