WEYBURN 1959 (2025)

Role(s): Production Support
"In the 1950s, Weyburn Mental Hospital in Weyburn, Saskatchewan, was a world centre for research into the use of LSD in the treatment of mental illness. By the mid-‘60s, LSD was a popular street drug and was made illegal, even for medical research. And in 1971, the massive mental hospital closed its doors. Weyburn 1959 is a fictionalized account of a transformational event in the lives of the researchers."
