June 2, 1997: Timothy Leary Documentary - Paul Davids
Paul Davids discusses his documentary about Timothy Leary, the psychologist and counterculture figure whose advocacy of psychedelics changed American culture.
Art Bell asks how the film approaches Leary’s experiments, public persona, imprisonment, political conflict, and final years. Davids reflects on archival material and the competing views of Leary as scientist, provocateur, visionary, and reckless celebrity.
