Doktor na tripu: Slavnostní předpremiéra filmu a setkání s hosty a odborníky
***A unique journey into the heart of the Amazon rainforest, where science and traditional medicine are searching for answers to one of the most important questions of our time: can psychedelics change the lives of people coping with depression? The documentary Doctor on a Trip by director and cinematographer David Čalek follows the groundbreaking research led by Dr. Páleníček and an international team of scientists. Their goal is ambitious - to test whether psychedelics can offer new hope where traditional treatments fail. They head to the Amazon rainforest to test the results from the labs, where they meet the Huni Kui community - a people for whom psychoactive plants have been a natural part of life since time immemorial. *Festive preview at Takeoff* The film will be followed by a discussion in which not only experts but also people who have undergone psychedelic-assisted therapy themselves will speak about it. And as special guests, representatives of the Huni Kui tribe from the Amazon will also be present. The three main protagonists of the film - Tibor, Richard and Lucie - have struggled with depression for many years.
