VIDEO: Power & Control: LSD in The Sixties - A Film By Aron Ranen

Hi all,

One of my readers, Aron Ranen, has created a fascinating documentary on what is virtually a 'sociology of power and control of LSD in the 1960s'. It is compelling viewing and I urge you to have a look:

Part One: An Introduction

Part Two: This section features Ram Dass and Divinity students who participated in an authorized Tim Leary experiment. 10 were given Mushrooms, and the others a Placebo in a "Religous Test" of the drug run by Harvard. The actual participant is located and interviewed by the filmmaker for this film.

Part Three: In this section the final segment of Preachers on Mushrooms, Haight-Ashbury and the rise of LSD in the Anti-WAR movement with The Free Speech Movement's Michael Rossman. Plus more Ram Dass and the place Tim Leary first took LSD.

This documentary was filmed and edited by Aron Ranen who is seeking funding/investor to finish and make it feature-length. If anyone wishes to contact Aron with a joint venture proposal, just let me know and I'll put you in contact.

Enjoy.

Dr Robert Muller.
