Way back in 2001 I produced a documentary about the drug Ecstasy. “e: How Much do You Really Know?” was intended to be an exploration of the many facets of the drug, from the political, scientific, spiritual and recreational points of view.

At the time, Ecstasy was a controversial and heated subject. Kids were dying from bad Ecstasy while scientist were trying to preserve it for therapeutic use, claiming it could relieve people of life long battles with PTSD and other traumas. Oprah featured a guest that said it put holes in her brain and groups like dance safe were promoting safe drug use. The government(NIDA) was trying to scare us away from it by giving bad information while Disney made a Mickey Mouse DJ doll that played house music. It was a hot topic and nothing had really scratched the surface yet, what was really going on with this drug and why did it have such devotees that spanned the world? Then came George W. and 9/11. We turned our attention elsewhere, away from home, and the topic was no longer relevant. It all just seemed to fade away, go back underground.

We made this teaser as a last ditch effort to raise some cash.
