"Kentucky Ayahuasca," a TV show that explores the administration of a controversial hallucinogenic drug via a shamanic healer based in Campbellsville, willl debut Nov. 28 on the Viceland network.
The 10-episode show follows Steve Hupp, "a former serial bank robber whose life was changed when a robbery went wrong and he found himself sharing a prison cell with a Peruvian shaman named Guadalupe who upon release, introduced him to the healing potential of Ayahuasca," a press release from the Viceland network states.
"Now, Hupp and his family have opened a church deep in the Bible Belt of Kentucky, attracting people from far and wide seeking enlightenment, salvation or healing from any number of afflictions from depression and PTSD, to recovery from emotional or physical abuse and addictions of all kinds."
The church is located inside a mobile home park in Campbellsville. A gift certificate for a group ceremony at the church sells on its website for $395.
The church organization requires all correspondence be conducted via e-mail and it reserves the right to refuse applications to participate. Those who participate must purchase a membership in its Native American Church.
Ayahuasca contains Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a controlled substance that is ordinarily not legal to posses or distribute according to federal law.
