Gay Dillingham joins us this week to talk about her new movie Dying to Know. Gay share with Mark her inspiration behind the film and why she, as a film maker, chose this particular documentary .

It was the Age of Aquarius in the 1960s. Hippies and drugs were everywhere. Young people protested the war in Vietnam. The consciousness movement began.

At the helm of this movement two Harvard professors began lifelong experiments with mind-altering drugs, a search for inner peace and starting a global counter culture movement.

The "bromance" of Timothy Leary and Ram Dass is the subject of a the new documentary film "Dying To Know" premiering in Los Angeles on June 17 at the Laemmele Royal Theatre in Beverly Hills. Twenty years in the making, director Gay Dillingham shares the ups and downs of the relationship of these icons of 1960s.

The film explores life questions still viable almost 50 years later. A look at death, drugs and the human condition explode on screen in this award-winning film. She portrays the personal, collective and professional ordeals of these icons, updating their message for future generations.

This is an intimate look at the two men as friends, colleagues and people in a fast changing world. Director/Producer Gay Dillingham will be at the opening as she explains how she convinced the two to share their lives before the cameras.

Psychedelic drugs are still a controversy today. In the 60s, Leary, a psychologist, proposed these drugs should be used to treat those with serious mental illness. Modern medicine is now taking a look at how these drugs could help those in need.

Ram Dass and Timothy Leary lives were intertwined for decades. When Leary announced his terminal cancer, the pair reunited in 1995, arranged by the filmmaker. "Dying To Know" captures their lifetime of struggle, friendship, work and death.
