Rated NR
1hr 21min
Including a fascinating Q & A discussion with Dr. Andrew Weil - best-selling author, the
“father” of integrative medicine and an internationally recognized expert on medicinal plants.
Fantastic Fungi is a visually dazzling, time-lapse exploration into the magical, mysterious and medicinal world of fungi and their power to heal, sustain and contribute to the regeneration of life on Earth. This is a consciousness-shifting film that takes us on an immersive journey through time and scale into the magical earth beneath our feet -- an underground network that has remarkable healing properties that have evolved across hundreds-of-millions of years. Through the eyes of renowned scientists and mycologists like Dr. Paul Stamets and best-selling authors Andrew Weil, Michael Pollan, Eugenia Bone, forest ecologist Suzanne Simard and others, we become aware of the beauty, intelligence and solutions the fungi kingdom offers us in response to some of our most pressing medical, therapeutic, and environmental challenges.
A story that begins 3.5 billion years ago, fungi help create the soil that supports life, connecting vast systems of roots from plants and trees all over the planet - an underground “Internet” of fungi mycelium. Throughout history, indigenous cultures have demonstrated that the closer one is to understanding nature, the more adept that person is in tapping into a universal consciousness, a oneness that binds all living things together. The psychedelic value of certain mushrooms is explored and revealed through the stories of patients diagnosed with terminal illnesses who transcended their fear of death and found peace, while others discovered uncharted levels of consciousness that opened their doors of perception.
There is much to learn from the Earth’s plants and their medicine and Fantastic Fungi is an inspiring place to experience the wondrous world of these medicinal plants and their miraculous evolution.
As visually dazzling as it is thought-provoking, Fantastic Fungi is a treat for the eye and ear.
