The Psychedelic Silver Screen, Vol. II
An Interview with Xavier Roussett, Director of “A Trip to Transformation”
“If Psychedelics Can Heal, Why Wait Until We’re Broken”
Produced in Partnership by Psychedelic State(s) of America and The Chronicles of Kykeon
Most psychedelic documentaries follow someone to the edge of a crisis and then to a clinic. Australian filmmaker Xavier Rousset asks a different question: what if we didn’t wait for the crisis?
In Vol. II of The Psychedelic Silver Screen, Rousset joins host Jim Tate to discuss A Trip to Transformation, his debut feature. He shot it over four years across three regulatory worlds: Australia’s medical model, Oregon’s supervised adult-use program and the long-running retreat culture of the Netherlands. The film argues that psilocybin’s real promise may lie in proactive wellbeing rather than last-resort treatment. Rousset makes that case on camera, drawing on his own history with depression and anxiety.
