What if confronting death could bring profound peace?

From Emmy Award-winning director Lynette Wallworth comes Edge of Life — a groundbreaking documentary exploring how psilocybin is helping palliative care patients face death with calm, and even joy.


When two Australian doctors journey to the Amazon to understand traditional plant medicine, they discover something remarkable: the world's oldest cultures may have vital knowledge to teach us about death itself.


Edge of Life offers intimate access to patients, Australian practitioners, and Amazonian healers in a rare exploration of how ancient knowledge and modern science can reframe end-of-life care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is psilocybin therapy?

Psilocybin is a natural compound from certain mushrooms that, in clinical settings, helps terminally ill patients face death with less fear and more peace. Indigenous cultures have used it for thousands of years as sacred medicine—and now modern science is rediscovering its profound effects.


Is this film suitable for someone who is grieving?

Yes. While the film deals with mortality, it does so with profound gentleness and hope. Many viewers find it comforting and perspective-changing. However, if you're in acute grief, you may wish to bring a support person or check with the cinema about content warnings.


How long is the film?

Edge of Life runs 110 minutes. Virtual Q&A screenings will include an additional 20-30 minutes for the live discussion with the filmmakers.


Will there be Q&A at all screenings?

The live virtual Q&A with director Lynette Wallworth and researchers is only available at select cinemas on November 13. These are marked with "Virtual Q&A Screenings" above. Other screenings will show the film only.


Can I watch this at home?

Edge of Life is currently a cinema-exclusive release. Home viewing options may become available in 2026. We recommend experiencing this powerful film on the big screen with an audience.


Is the content confronting or distressing?

While the film addresses serious themes around mortality and illness, it's filmed with sensitivity and hope. There are no graphic medical procedures shown. The overall tone is contemplative, spiritual, and ultimately uplifting.


Who should see this film?

Anyone interested in consciousness, spirituality, end-of-life care, psychedelic research, or indigenous wisdom. Healthcare workers, caregivers, and those facing their own mortality or supporting loved ones will find it particularly meaningful.
