Summary

Dr. John C. Lilly, the mad scientist of consciousness, turned his own body into a lab—experimenting with dolphins, psychedelics, and sensory deprivation tanks to unlock the mind’s hidden realms. Now, a new film directed by Michael Almereyda and Courtney Stephens, narrated by Chloë Sevigny, dives into his radical quest to break through the boundaries of reality. This isn’t just a biography—it’s a thrilling exploration of a fearless thinker who dared to go where no one else dared, proving that the most profound discoveries often come from the most unconventional paths.
