Psychedelic Film Series: Better Living Through Chemistry

In the 1970s, Dr. Alexander “Sasha” Shulgin significantly contributed to the development and psychopharmaceutical use of MDMA: a catalyst to personal doors entombed or unknown. His widow, co-author, and research partner, Ann—alongside friends, family, and colleagues—gives a guided tour of their life and laboratory, reflecting on how risks and revelations opened a world of compound enlightenment. Stippled with spirituality, sadness, and skepticism, the Shulgins’ chemical love story examines the power of psychedelic psychotherapy, sacred alchemy, and challenging the path of misunderstood resistance.

Despite the profound healing potential of MDMA-assisted therapy, the FDA recently decided to delay its approval, stalling access for countless Americans, many of them veterans, who urgently need lasting and effective mental health treatment.

The Central Oregon Psychedelic Film Series is a collaboration between COPS and Tin Pan Alley Theater.
