Iboga Nights

About This Movie

Iboga Nights is this raw, gritty documentary that dives deep into the world of addiction recovery through the lens of iboga, a plant medicine that's been used for centuries. The pacing is pretty reflective, alternating between personal accounts and the often harsh realities of detoxing. One thing that stands out is how it doesn’t shy away from showing the risks involved—there’s a real sense of tension in those moments. The atmosphere is heavy, almost haunting, which adds to the overall impact. It’s not just about the medicine but the people and the environment they detox in. The performances—if you want to call them that—are just everyday folks sharing their struggles, and that raw authenticity is quite something.
