A Documentary Film

The Journeyto Ibogaine

Midnight to Medicine

Twenty-one years in uniform. One night that changed everything.

Most first responders don't die on the job. They die slowly, after it — in silence, in their kitchens, in their cars, in the dark hours where nobody is watching. This is the film about what happens when one of them finally stops running.

ABOUT THE FILM

The Story Behind the Silence

By the time Matt Griffin walked into Ambio Life Sciences in Tijuana, he had spent more than two decades absorbing other people’s worst moments — as a US Navy Search and Rescue Swimmer, as an undercover narcotics detective in Virginia Beach and Keene, New Hampshire, and as a man who learned early that the only acceptable answer to “how are you?” was “fine.”

He wasn’t fine.

The Journey to Ibogaine: Midnight to Medicine follows Matt from the moment the badge stopped fitting through the 36 hours that rewired him — an ibogaine treatment that confronted, in a single night, the trauma a career had buried. It is not a film about a drug. It is a film about identity. About what it costs to be the one everyone calls when something terrible happens. And about what it takes — medically, spiritually, honestly — to come home to yourself.

WHO THIS FILM IS FOR

If you have ever been the one who runs toward it.

This documentary is for the cops, firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, dispatchers, corrections officers, SAR swimmers, federal agents, and military first responders who are still carrying what the job gave them. It is for their spouses, their kids, their partners, their chiefs. It is for the clinicians and chaplains and peer-support teams trying to reach them. And it is for anyone who has ever wondered if the person they were before the uniform is still in there somewhere.
