Joanna Harcourt-Smith recounts an early trip with Timothy Leary in a new clip from Errol Morris' upcoming documentary on the LSD pioneer.
While there were other people with them, Harcourt-Smith remembers having only enough acid for herself and Leary, and she goes on to share what seems to be a particularly vivid memory from their trip together: “He said to me, ‘You’ve come to free me.’ I thought, ‘Ok.’ I didn’t really understand what he meant. But I knew we were bonded, truly bonded from that moment.”
In a statement, Morris called the upcoming film a “dream project,” adding, “I’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.
