Beyond Repair explores how the past shapes people's lives and how all of us struggle - perhaps for our entire lives - to come to some of understanding of that influence. Rockaway and Coney Island, beautiful history-haunted neighborhoods, serve as the backdrop for the story of Mary and Eddie Lynott, a brother and sister, who share troubled childhood memories.
Have a Good Trip offers a rather balanced look at psychedelic use. While its main narrative is the stories of recreational use by celebrities, it does delve into the medical history of psychedelics and its use in psychotherapy.

The second film takes us on Peter's journey to be understood.
