Bufo Alvarius: The Underground Secret (2018)

A radical testimony of the strongest known natural psychedelic, tryptamine 5-MeO-DMT produced by Bufo Alvarius, a toad of the Sonoran desert. Director Filip Zaruba Writer Filip Zaruba Star Stanislav Grof I’ve watched a few documentaries on this subject over the years and this is the best on so far. Amazing visuals and in depth interviews. This is truly a powerful medicine. I have only done DMT (the liquid version) once last year and it was very intense for me. I felt a force communicating with me and showing my personal demons, trauma and the human story.

The breathtaking audio-visual adventure is enhanced by immersive animations inspired by the psychoactive effects of this extraordinary substance. Fascinating stories of a group of Czech psychonauts are combined with personal insights of Stanislav Grof, a judicious nestor of transpersonal psychology, and Octavio Rettig, a controversial neoshaman who has facilitated ceremonial contact with Bufo Alvarius for thousands of volunteers from around the world. For many, the experience has been life-changing. Originally intended to simply document these experiences, the film evolved into an intense meditation on the nature of consciousness and being.
