I love this so much. Poetic, soft, and so, so deeply moving

So honest… it is searing

The work you've all done together shows in every frame, but the film is not about the mines, it's about the jewels they found. It is a spiritual film.
I felt its holiness

A very important film, by a man and a woman that offers valuable insights for all
MELISSA UNGER
I watched your incredible film last night - what an experience. I was awed and delighted. I’ve got so many urgent things to say about it - the camerawork was so respectful and gorgeous. The men themselves were such treasures in all their wounded, strong, beautiful ways. The editing was absolutely phenomenal. The entire thing was just really profound and left me giddy and stunned.

WRITING
Reviews of empathy for the devil
Start your mix with a dose of Huxley, a liberal dash of Carlos Castaneda, add a tot or two of Hoffman and round it out with a splash of Hunter Thompson & Paul Bowles.
You might end up with a dish for Jerry to relish.
Kerouac would understand the flow, the syntax leaping, tangentially hopping as the mind does on psychedelics - bursting into contact with vignettes so important you almost forgot to notate them.
A search for that certain light that will shine into the recesses we mostly fear to plumb.
Should you have ever dabbled in the edges of psychedelia and still have nagging questions, this is a must read, a rock ’n roll roller coaster of a ride.

Jerry Hyde has traveled deep within himself as well as to the farthest horizons to understand how harm comes to us and how it may be healed. There is a profound, urgent wisdom in his work that is carried along almost pell-mell by his enthusiasm for humanity and for life.
Sebastian Junger - The Perfect Storm, War, Tribe, Freedom and director of Which Way is the Front Line From Here? and Restrepo
Jerry Hyde is a unique human being, life experimenter, and psychotherapist. I greatly admire what he’s been doing, and his work is a wonderful introduction to what makes him one of a kind.
