MY PSYCHEDELIC LOVE STORY BY ERROL MORRIS LICENSES JONAS MEKAS FOOTAGE FOR TIMOTHY LEARY DOC, AIRED ON SHOWTIME

MY PSYCHEDELIC LOVE STORY is a documentary from Academy Award-winning filmmaker Errol Morris. This film is structured as a psychedelic head trip, crossed with the story of a possible CIA conspiracy, and wrapped in a fascinating love story told by the late Joanna Harcourt-Smith about her time with Timothy Leary.

GME provided scenes from Jonas Mekas’ film REPORT FROM MILLBROOK (1965-1966, part of his magnum opus WALDEN: DIARIES, NOTES, AND SKETCHES, 1969) to Academy Award-winning director Errol Morris for his documentary about Leary’s whirlwind romance with Joanna Harcourt-Smith. The film began broadcasting on Showtime in December 2020.

Errol Morris and Joanna Harcourt-Smith reexamine this chaotic period of her life and explore the dark side of the Timothy Leary saga: his period of exile, reimprisonment, and subsequent cooperation with the authorities.
