DYING TO KNOW: A FILM ABOUT LEARY AND ALPERT

A new documentary titled Dying to Know chronicles the friendship of two twentieth century icons, Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert, aka Ram Dass. Their research at Harvard fifty years ago inspired the psychedelic movement of the 1960s. Producer/Director Gay Dillingham worked with Heffter on a project documenting the use of psilocybin to treat alcoholics. Dying to Know, narrated by Robert Redford, premieres in Bay Area theaters on July 10th.
