"Quiet the Sirens" follows three firefighters as they confront the profound and lasting effects of PTSD. Their search for healing leads them to Roots to Thrive, an innovative group therapy program in Nanaimo, BC, that blends traditional treatments with the transformative potential of psychedelic ketamine. The program’s remarkable results are reshaping the landscape of mental health care.
Through intimate storytelling and unflinching honesty, the documentary explores the deep scars of trauma and the hope that psychedelic medicine offers. Alongside these personal narratives, it offers a thought-provoking look at the evolving history of psychiatric treatments—and the questions that surround their resurgence today.
The film will be followed by an open discussion and Q&A featuring filmmakers and staff from Roots to Thrive.
