Description
Dying to Know is an intimate portrait of two complex and controversial characters, Ram Dass and Timothy Leary, in an epic friendship that shaped a generation.
In the 1960s, Harvard psychology professors Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert began probing the edges of consciousness through their experiments with psychedelics. Leary became an LSD guru, igniting a global counterculture movement and landing in prison after Nixon called him “the most dangerous man in America.”
Alpert journeyed to the East and became Ram Dass, a spiritual teacher for an entire generation and the author of Be Here Now.
Including interviews spanning 50 years, Dying to Know celebrates the lasting legacy of Leary and Alpert and encourages critical thinking about life, drugs, and the biggest mystery of all: death.
