Better Living Through Chemistry (2021)

Documentary

In the 1970s, Dr. Alexander “Sasha” Shulgin significantly contributed to the development and psychopharmaceutical use of MDMA: a catalyst to personal doors entombed or unknown. His widow, co-author, and research partner, Ann—alongside friends, family, and colleagues—gives a guided tour of their life and laboratory, reflecting on how risks and revelations opened a world of compound enlightenment. Stippled with spirituality, sadness, and skepticism, the Shulgins’ chemical love story examines the power of psychedelic psychotherapy, sacred alchemy, and challenging the path of misunderstood resistance.

Directed by: Connie Littlefield

Cast: Ann Shulgin, Alexander Shulgin, Tania Manning, Greg Manning, Brian Perry, Renee Reeser Zelnick, Mariavittoria Mangini, Jennifer Dumpert
