Prophet of Ecstasy

THE PROPHET OF ECSTASY examines the improbable life of Michael Clegg, the former Catholic priest who introduced MDMA to the world and later called it 'Ecstasy.' The film traces his path from MDMA drug kingpin to present-day enlightened yogi, while also exploring how the fates of Clegg, chemist Carina Leveriza, and psychedelics advocate Rick Doblin are tied to the socio-cultural explosion of MDMA—from discovery to criminalization and re-emergence.
