The Substance: Albert Hofmann's LSD is a 2011 documentary film. The film brings the coincidental discovery of the drug LSD by the Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann in 1943.

Synopsis

Le chimiste Albert Hofmann découvre en 1943, dans son laboratoire de recherches bâlois, une substance jusque-là inconnue. Après l’avoir expérimentée sur lui-même, il comprend qu’il a affaire à un agent extrêmement puissant qui bouleverse la perception humaine. Les psychiatres commenceront à utiliser, dans les années 1950, cette nouvelle substance appelée LSD à des fins thérapeutiques. Lorsque cette «bombe atomique du cerveau» sort des cliniques dans les années 1960, c’est une véritable révolution: le LSD semble fait pour les hippies en rupture avec la société d’abondance. Dans les années 1970, le LSD est mis sur liste noire. Aujourd’hui, les substances psychédéliques retrouvent, pour la première fois, un usage légal.

While Lowell is generally known for its central role in the Industrial Revolution as the first planned textile town in the United States, the city had fallen on hard times since the mills left the city in the early 1920s. Wang Laboratories, a major employer in Lowell in the more prosperous 1980s, declared bankruptcy and virtually went out of business in the early 1990s. The Lowell of 1995 had a large percentage of the population unemployed or underemployed, in poverty, and unaffected by positive things in the city like the Lowell National Historical Park and The Lowell Folk Festival (established in 1990). Much of the film takes place in a lower-class section of the city's (Lower) Highlands neighborhood.
