Acid Dream: The Great LSD Plot

Episode two of the LSD saga about an attempt to start a revolution of the mind, from a Welsh farmhouse. Richard Kemp's reputation as a psychedelic chemist grows. And as he and Christine search for a new base for their operation, the Welsh hills beckon. In the 1970s it's estimated that around 60% of the world's LSD came from one place: Wales. This is the story of the Microdot Gang - a rag tag group of chemists, dealers, businessmen and hippy dreamers. They believed that acid had the power to save the world.

Narrated by Rhys Ifans (House of the Dragon, Notting Hill, Harry Potter) and starring Hannah Murray (Game of Thrones, Skins), Acid Dream is written by Welsh playwright Tim Price and features original music from Super Furry Animals frontman Gruff Rhys.

Contains references to drug use.
