I’M DANGEROUS WITH LOVE — 4 days left at IFCCenter NYC

at IFCCenter in the west Village. 2-min Trailer: “A haunting, visceral exploration of addiction and one contemporary man’s fearless and determined quest for healing and redemption through the ancient wisdom of the Bwiti and their ‘magical’ plant, Iboga. For those seeking a path out of darkness, this film is not to be missed.” Charles Shaw, AlterNet I’M DANGEROUS WITH LOVE is about addiction and rehabilitation, activism and shamanism. Dimitri Mugianis who starts out as the heavily addicted front man for the band Leisure Class ends his long drug and alcohol addiction with an experimental treatment that uses the hallucinogen ibogaine. African shamans have used ibogaine in their rituals for centuries, but in the US it is a Schedule 1 controlled substance. No longer a drug user, Dimitri illegally takes addicts through the same detox that he says saved his life. I’M DANGEROUS WITH LOVE is an underground adventure that traces Dimitri’s risky journey as he treats desperate drug users. He is a man of edgy energy going from one addict to the next without stopping to catch his breath. But then one session goes bad in a remote snowed-in Canadian home, and a quiet young man almost dies. Dimitri must decide whether or not to continue his mission. Is it serving the addicts or simply releasing his own demons? Dimitri travels to Gabon, West Africa, to consult with Bwiti shamans, and puts himself through a punishing iboga initiation in search of guidance. see also www.youtube.com
