Alejandro Jodorowsky is a well known charlatan and scammer, a self help guru and a creator of a form of therapy known as "psycho - magic" witch is of course a total fraud.
Having been said that (and you can check it for yourself if you dont believe me), my guess is that he conned a lot of people in the 70s for the making of this movie. All the encounters he described to convince the cast (Dalí, Orson Wells, Mick Jagger) are evidently pure fantasy and there's no a shred of evidence that any of those events happened (except for a few words of one of Dali's muse, who is kind of a fraudster herself). I wont be surprised if that is the way he tricked producers and the visual artist to come abroad this project, that in the end he knew very well that it never would be done, so he could walk away with all of the fame and none of the blame, because is just "Hollywood's fault, not mine".
This documentary is 100% without exception a testimony narrated by of some of the people involved in the process and that's it. No more evidence, investigation or third party testimony.
