A Cure for Fear + Mind/Trip: Episodes 4 and 5

Dir. Lana Wilson. 2018, 56 mins (four 14 min. episodes). U.S. DCP. Neuroscientist Dr. Merel Kindt has discovered a cure for phobias using common medication. After a brief but intense exposure to their fear, the patient takes a single pill. Twenty-four hours later, the fear is gone. From animal phobias to PTSD, the potential impact is both profound and dazzlingly complex. In A Cure for Fear, Wilson goes inside Kindt’s radical treatments as she explores the ethically treacherous grounds of curing our most human ailment. Preceded by episodes four and five of Mind/Trip (2021, 20 mins), an online series journeying into the lives of people living with mental health disorders. Wilson directs episodes centered on women with DID (dissociative identity disorder) and bipolar disorder.
