Scope and content
This documentary looks at the use of traditional medicines to treat the ills of our age. Ibogaine reveals the strong overlap between seemingly distant cultural identities. Ibogaine is a plant alkaloid found in the root bark of the West African shrub Tabernanthe Iboga. It has the unique property of removing withdrawal symptoms and reducing cravings from substances that cause chemical dependence, such as heroin, cocaine and alcohol. It has long been used as a traditional medicinal and spiritual tool in West Africa. For the last forty years, it has increasingly been taken up in Western society as a tool for addiction therapy, where its complex effects on the human brain prove its psychotherapeutic potential and also reveal new information about the mechanisms of memory, learning and dreams.
