What if your identity was wiped away in a matter of hours and you were left with a blank slate?  What if everything you feel, think, and believed was utterly transformed?  This is what happened to Robert Russo. After living with CPTSD for decades and struggling against happiness, he stumbled into psychedelics - powerful medicine that takes you on an unbelievable spiritual journey. It showed him beneath the pain and fear is something perfect and beautiful – Our true identity, our true spirit.  One full of compassion, love, wonder, and curiosity. A child's spirit. The one we have had all along.

Roughneck is about the insidious effects of trauma. The invisible bars that imprison us. And the miraculous psychedelic medicine that can bring us back to a more connected and beautiful life.
