Director Gay Dillingham discusses her film "Dying to Know," about the friendship between Timothy Leary and Ram Dass, and their final filmed conversation in December 1995, following a period of estrangement. She describes the film’s themes—psychedelics, love, and confronting death—along with renewed psychedelic research for end-of-life anxiety, addiction, and PTSD, and support for adult sovereignty of consciousness.
