Warrior Healing Documentary: bridging the gap to healing

Location: Australia, Mexico and Africa

Cohort Size: 3 warriors

Project Objective:

Warrior Healing documents the next chapter of a story Pillars for Pilgrims helped begin. In 2025, P4P funded Andrew "Horse" Hudson - 22-year Special Forces veteran, 7 deployments - to undergo Ibogaine treatment in Mexico when every conventional option had failed him. The results were life-changing.

Now Horse is leading a new cohort of burnt-out warriors - veterans, police, and firefighters - back to Mexico. The documentary follows them through a fully structured treatment pathway: preparation, medical Ibogaine provision, soft landing, integration coaching, and ongoing community support.

Produced by SciComms Films, directed by Simon J. Heath (Bravery and Betrayal: The True Story of the SAS in Afghanistan, Australia's most-watched theatre documentary, 2025).

Why it matters:

Since 1997, more than 1,600 Australian veterans have died by suicide - more than all recent combat deaths combined. Mainstream treatment is failing them. Ibogaine is not a fringe experiment. It is a rigorously supervised, evidence-informed pathway that is saving lives where nothing else could.

P4P already funds veterans to access this treatment overseas. This documentary takes that mission to a national audience - driving awareness, legitimacy, and the funding needed to reach more veterans.

"I haven't felt this good in 20 years. What Ibogaine achieved in a few days was vastly more than a decade of therapy. This saves lives."

Andrew "Horse" Hudson, P4P Ambassador & Documentary Subject.

Who it is designed for:

Those who protect and serve give so much for their communities and country. We're here to support them when they need it most by giving them access to holistic and alternative treatments to heal trauma and related mental health challenges.

What they get from it:

• Alternative medical treatment.

• Mental clarity.

• Emotional stability replacing constant volatility.

• Significantly reduced chronic pain after years of suffering.

• Zero cravings for substances. Improved sleep.

• Newfound authenticity.

• A story told with dignity - and the chance to help the next veteran find their way.
