Prophet of Ecstasy Plot and Cast
THE PROPHET OF ECSTASY traces the improbable life of Michael Clegg, the former Catholic priest who introduced MDMA to the world and later called it 'Ecstasy.' The film moves from his days as an MDMA drug kingpin to his present-day transformation into an enlightened yogi. It also shows how Clegg's fate, along with that of chemist Carina Leveriza and psychedelics advocate Rick Doblin, is bound to MDMA's socio-cultural explosion and its journey of discovery, criminalization, and re-emergence.
