Ayahuasca Now is a powerful documentary about a group of men and women, veterans from the Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan wars. The film take a deep dive into the origins of their traumas, the effects of PTSD, the struggles in their personal lives, and the limited support they received from the VA and society at large. Feeling trapped by their suffering and misunderstood by those around them, they embark on a journey to the Amazon jungle in search of one last chance at redemption. The jungle becomes a new battleground in their fight against trauma, with a group of shamans as their allies, and indigenous ceremonies as their only weapons. The biggest obstacle they face is themselves. We will follow their journey as they return home to the United States and confront the aftermath of their experiences. Just voices of a silent war.Director Carlos B. Cejas, Producer Mario Stecher and Veterans Brenda Russell, Jared Rinehart, and Harold Maier will be answering questions after the film.
