The daring experimenter Dr. John C. Lilly dedicated his life to radical self-investigation and unlocking the mysteries of consciousness and communication. �My body is my laboratory� was the motto, and his research on the language of dolphins and whales � as well as psychedelics and sensory deprivation � assured his own cult status in 20th-century pop culture as the basis for Ken Russel�s Altered States and Mike Nichols�s The Day of the Dolphin. Directors Michael Almareyda and Courtney Stephens, along with narrator Chlo� Sevigny, explore the life of a determined scientist and his experiments into the psychonautical unknown.
