Filmmaker Phil Borges explores how indigenous cultures often identify ‘psychotic’ symptoms as an indicator of shamanic potential rather than a disease that requires medical treatment. You may be relieved to learn that Crazywise “doesn’t aim to over-romanticize indigenous wisdom, or completely condemn Western treatment. Not enery indigenous person who has a crisis becomes a shaman. And many individuals benefit from Western medications.”
This Psychedelic Scoiety screening is followed by a panel discussion with mental health professionals and people who have experience of psychosis, chaired by Rhodri Karim.
