DYING TO KNOW is a documentary focusing on Timothy Leary, Ram Dass and their cosmic LSD connection. Director Gay Dillingham shares the trailer, and discusses the early 1960s Harvard psychology LSD experiments, + the exploration of consciousness through spiritual awakening. Dillingham also breaks down the rarely discussed love story between Leary and Dass, altered states of consciousness and death as a taboo and inspiration in this episode of Antidote hosted by Michael Parker.
Gay Dillingham is a director whose work The WIPP Trail, narrated by Robert Redford, cast a critical eye at our nation’s first and still world’s only underground nuclear waste repository. My Body Belongs to Me, a children’s pro-active educational program on sexual abuse, earned the American Film Festival award for “Guidance & Values Education”. Her company co-produced Dr. Andrew Weil’s first PBS programs in the mid 90s. Gay then co-founded and managed two environmental technology companies: Earthstone International and Growstone. Under the Richardson Administration she served eight years on the EIB, a regulatory board in charge of environmental management and consumer protection for the State of New Mexico. Under her tenure the EIB spear-headed the passage of the most comprehensive regulations on greenhouse gases in the country. Her latest film, Dying to Know has been a labor of love she has cultivated on and off for 17 years; footage so compelling is was haunting her to finish.
