A FILM BY ERROL MORRIS (w\/t) asks the question why Leary, the High Priest of LSD, became a narc in 1974 and seemingly abandoned the millions he urged to turn on, tune in and drop out. Was his &#8220;perfect love&#8221; Joanna Harcourt-Smith a government pawn, as suggested by Allen Ginsberg? Or was she simply a rich, beautiful, young woman out for the adventure of a lifetime? Morris and Harcourt-Smith will reexamine this chaotic period of her life and explore the mystery of the Leary saga: his period of exile, reimprisonment and subsequent cooperation with the authorities. Devotion or selfishness? Perfect love or outright betrayal? Destiny or manipulation? The film is inspired by Harcourt-Smith&#8217;s memoir, Tripping the Bardo with Timothy Leary: My Psychedelic Love Story.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In a first-look clip from the forthcoming feature, Harcourt-Smith details an early encounter with Leary, previewing an impassioned affair. To watch or share the clip, go to:<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;This is a dream project,&#8221; Morris said. &#8220;I&#8217;m always looking for alternative ways into a story. You never want to go through the front door. Or even the back door. Much better to find an attic window that has been left ajar. Joanna Harcourt-Smith, who had a love affair with Timothy Leary, wrote a book detailing how they met, how they fell in love, how they took drugs together, how he ended up in prison. And then something surprising happened. I found Joanna as interesting as Timothy Leary, perhaps even more so. It was a way to tell a story about the &#8217;70s in a powerful and unexpected way. I&#8217;m excited to be working with SHOWTIME and I can&#8217;t believe my good fortune.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Morris is an Oscar and Emmy(R) winning director whose documentary canon includes The Fog of War, A Brief History of Time, Standard Operating Procedure, The Thin Blue Line and Gates of Heaven. In addition to his illustrious film career, Morris has directed over 1,000 television commercials, is a New York Times bestselling author and a regular contributor to the New York Times opinion pages and Op-Docs series. In addition to honors for his individual films, Morris has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, a Guggenheim Fellowship and a MacArthur Fellowship.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>A FILM BY ERROL MORRIS (w\/t) is being produced for SHOWTIME by Fourth Floor Productions &amp; Moxie Pictures.
