Jim Laczkowski Voices & Visions Psychedelic medicine may in fact be the future of treating PTSD and it's great to see a film that covers this in such an inspiring, emotionally engaging manner. Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Roger Moore Movie Nation So hopeful that ayuhuasca can cure PTSD that it crosses over into credulous. Rated: 2/4 Oct 14, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This is an absolute must-watch documentary. Our returning soldiers have seen and done things they want to forget but, instead, are haunted by them. We need to have these medicines legalized so that all people, veterans and others suffering from PTSD and in emotional pain, can be healed. And we must do away with war. How horrible to send our sons and daughters in harms way like this. This is a wonderful documentary. Every member of Congress should be required to watch this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a film or truth, honor and healing. Every person should watch this movie. You become one with the men who fought for our freedom. You see how war leaves such soul trauma on our veterans. You see how plant medicine can heal our veterans and us. You experience a very special place called SoulQuest in Orlando, Fl that will heal this world. Please watch, you will forever be charged with eyes and heart wide open. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Very powerful! It's amazing how quickly supposed ‘permanent' & treatment-resistant issues can be cleared. Or at least, severely reduced. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is an amazing documentary that provides insight into the difficulties faces by veterans upon return to civilian life. It walks you through their personal journey towards healing from PTSD and the wonderful assistance Ayahuasca provided in helping them to heal themselves. Big Pharma meds don't provide actual healing, they create dependency and cloud the path to true healing. I hope that this film helps to enlighten people about how natural plant medicines can help people to heal themselves and change the course of their life...Ayahuasca isn't just for veterans or for PTSD, it is for anyone looking to get their life on track. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a must see for anyone who is suffering from PTSD! The stories about these brave warriors are a lesson to us all and we should be embracing these revolutionary treatments that are now becoming more commonplace. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Great Movie Full of Hope A must see for anyone with it affected by PTSD Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
