It is yes. It's been online for many years now.
I've watched the documentary you referenced. It's very good.

From the article Wrote:But the curious should take heed: The unconscious mind holds many things you don't want to look at. All those self-destructive beliefs, suppressed traumatic events, denied emotions. Little wonder that an ayahuasca vision can reveal itself as a kind of hell in which a person is forced—literally—to face his or her demons.
"Ayahuasca is not for everyone," Grob warns. "It's probably not for most people in our world today. You have to be willing to have a very powerful, long, internal experience, which can get very scary. You have to be willing to withstand that."
From all I've read thus far about it, it seems the 'fear factor' is a given, whatever shape or form it might take. The experiences are as varied as the amount of people taking it.
