Title
LSD a Go Go
Synopsis

In the early hours of November 19, 1953, a man plunged to his death from 10 floors above the streets of Manhattan. Things like this happen in a city as large as New York, however, this case was different. The man who jumped out the window was army officer Frank Olson. Olson had recently participated in trial tests given by the Central Intelligence Agency which was experimenting with their new wonder drug – LSD! Using material culled from educational “drug scare” films, National Archive, Ford Presidential Library photos, and recently declassified security memos, LSD A GO GO briefly describes a slice of the CIA’s history with their LSD program known as MK-ULTRA amd traces the Frank Olson case, tying it to recent developments that reach into some of the highest offices in the US government.
