My Psychedelic Love Story plot
"Love is a trip."
Why did Timothy Leary, the psychologist who became LSD's high priest, become an FBI informant in 1974 and abandon his millions of followers? Was his "perfect love" Joanna Harcourt-Smith a government pawn? Or was she just a rich, beautiful, young woman looking for the adventure of her life? Looking back, Joanna doesn't know. In this documentary, director Errol Morris and Joanna Harcourt-Smith examine this chaotic period of her life and explore the dark side of Timothy Leary: his period of exile, re-incarceration and subsequent collaboration with the authorities.
