"From Shock to Awe" features two veterans seeking help for trauma through psychedelics
ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / October 18, 2018 / Soul Quest Ayahuasca Church of Mother Earth in Orlando, Florida, is proud to invite guests to the premiere of its documentary "From Shock to Awe" on November 12, 2018, at 7:30 p.m. E.T.
The special one-night-only event, "Coming Home: Beyond Veterans Day," will include theatrical screenings in over 25 U.S. cities. Screenings will be followed by a live Q&A with the cast and filmmakers.
"From Shock to Awe" shares the stories of two combat veterans suffering from a host of negative emotions including fear, anxiety, depression, and anger, brought on by their experiences in war. After traditional Western medicine fails them, the men seek for healing at Soul Quest Ayahuasca Church of Mother Earth, where they attend a weekend ceremonial retreat. Several times over the weekend, they consume ayahuasca, a traditional, spiritual plant medicine brew that brings on healing and spiritual insights.
The documentary shares the veterans' hopes and fears about taking ayahuasca as well as their experiences during their weekend ceremony. The film follows up with the veterans several months later to learn the impacts of their experience with ayahuasca and how it helped them heal. It also shows the impacts that the veterans' healing had on their families, and how their wives were led to embark on their own psychedelic healing journeys.
The Ayahuasca Manifesto itself reads: "It is time to embrace Humanity with my healing, extending beyond the Amazon basin, reaching global expansion, spreading through all the soils of tropical climates, growing in every forest, in every sidewalk, in every house garden. Care about me, harvest me, spread me around. Warriors of Light from Around the World… Help Me to Help You!"
The premiere event on November 12, 2018 will launch a social impact campaign that aims to open a dialogue about trauma, the pharmaceutical industry, the U.S. legal system, and saving lives.
