Looking forward to this. Justin and Marg are incredible facilitators, and trained us as part of the Swinburne and UTAS psychadelics study for treatment resistant depression (which devastatingly doesn't look like it's going to happen). But, a few of us in Tas are doing everything we can for psilocybin sessions for treatment resistant depression, in a clinic, over the coming years 🤞🤞🤞
St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne’s Australian-first clinical trial of psychedelic-assisted therapy is the topic of a new documentary, premiering this weekend at the Adelaide Film Festival.
During the trial, St Vincent’s clinician researchers Dr Marg Ross and Dr Justin Dwyer worked with Emmy award-winning filmmaker Lynette Wallworth, who followed two terminally ill trial participants as they navigated their psilocybin-assisted therapy. Lynette has a long relationship with the Yawanawa people of the Brazilian Amazon, which enabled the clinicians to also travel to the Amazon to explore traditional uses of these types of medicines.
Edge of Life will be released in cinemas nationally from 13 November 2025.
