Inspiring Documentaries

1. Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days
This is one of the most inspiring and educational independent food documentaries. Every time I watch it I find myself recommending it to someone else the next day. The film chronicles 6 people with "incurable" diabetes who were invited to the The Tree Life Rejuvenation Center in Patagonia, Arizona. The documentary captures their stay at the health center and their remarkable journey. While there they were not allowed to have: meat, dairy, caffeine, sugar, refined or processed foods. I love that Wood Harrelson is in this!

This film is about GMO seeds and the farmers who work with them everyday. It offers an in depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled our grocery store shelves for the past decade.

A great film for everyone in your family. It's about our scary food industry and how far away we've gotten from our roots. You'll never look at dinner the same way!

This is a story of 3 ultra runners who set out on a quest to run through the vast and mysterious wilderness of the Sahara Desert. Fighting injury and extreme fatigue, Charlie, Ray and Kevin's journey took them across 6 countries: Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Niger Libya and Egypt as they logged 50 miles/day. According to their GPS record, they traveled by foot over 4,3000 miles. Talk about a journey of epic proportions!

Fresh is an inspiring and hopeful film about our aim to help grow and eat more fresh food from our Earth. The film forces the audience to take a serious look at where we are and, as a result, is a useful primer of how we got here. Fresh! is a film of positive ideas and solutions. It's different from Food Inc., which focuses more on the overwhelming power of industrial agriculture and it's problems and challenges.


Please go and see one of these films or maybe plan a movie night with some friends or family. They're sure to inspire anyone and everyone!

♥♥ Cheers to your health
