- A New Understanding explores the treatment of end-of-life anxiety in terminally ill cancer patients using psilocybin, a psychoactive compound found in some mushrooms, to facilitate deeply spiritual experiences. The documentary explores the confluence of science and spirituality in the first psychedelic research studies since the 1970s with terminally ill patients. As a society we devote a great deal of attention to treating cancer, but very little to treating the human being who is dying of cancer. The recent resurgence of psychedelic research is once again revealing the power of compounds like psilocybin to profoundly alter our understanding of both life and death. Through the eyes of patients, their loved ones, therapists, and researchers, A New Understanding examines the use of psilocybin in a controlled setting to reduce psychospiritual anxiety, depression, and physical pain. The treatment aims to help the patient understand that a 'good' death is possible, and to help the patient's family deal well with the dying process. A New Understanding shows patients and their families coming to terms with dying through the skillful treatment of the whole human being. If we can learn to work more skillfully with dying, we will also learn to take better care of life.
- DirectorPaola RosàAntonio SenterIn the wilderness of remote burnt areas in Canada, every Summer thousands of people gather in search of adventure and quick money: pickers and buyers work side by side searching, picking, carrying and selling morels, the mushrooms that grow one year after a forest fire. Morels are the black gold of the bush, they are extremely expensive on international markets, being not possible to grow them artificially. Along the edges of huge forest fires, hundreds of kilometers far away from any village, gas station and telephone poll, the temporary community of buyers and pickers obeys the same basic laws of society: there's competition but also solidarity, there's mutual help but also business. They depend on one another, you can't think of surviving alone or without someone's collaboration: this is the rule that creates a model of perfect society, where everybody is aware of freedom and respect. It's a hard life living out there: pickers come out of the bush black with soot, white with ash and red with their own blood scratched from mosquito bites. Work is hard and you get payed for what you have picked but it all depends on your good luck in finding a good patch. 'The Mushroom Rush' follows the extraordinary-ordinary life in three camps during two seasons of picking, into the bush and around the campfire, among bears and black flies.
