Documentaries on Plant Power

This program, “Documentaries on Plant Power” explores four American films that focus on the adoption of the vegan diet and resulting health benefits. The first documentary we profile is “What the Health.” The work follows American filmmakers Kip Andersen and Keegan Kuhn as they uncover the open secret to preventing and even reversing chronic diseases – the plant-based diet. The work shares knowledge from a wide array of respected vegan American medical experts including Drs. Neal Barnard, Michael Greger, Michael Klaper, Alan Goldhamer, Milton Mills and many others.

Our next film is “Forks Over Knives.” The film examines the lives and careers of famed American nutritional biochemist and co-author of the best-selling book “The China Study,” Dr. T. Colin Campbell, and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr. a surgeon at the renowned Cleveland Clinic in the USA, and how each discovered that plant-based foods are the path to robust health. The film “Forks Over Knives” also follows the lives of several chronically ill patients who took the advice of their doctors and adopted the healing, nutritious vegan diet.

The next movie that we will review is “PlantPure Nation.” This documentary film tells the story of key individuals who are on a mission to spread the message regarding the value of the whole foods vegan diet. The production follows the enlightening speech that Dr. T. Colin Campbell gives to the State of Kentucky’s House of Representatives. Following his stirring oration, Dr. Campbell’s son, Nelson Campbell, and then-Kentucky State Representative, Reverend Tom Riner, join forces and propose a pilot program to document the benefits of the plant-based diet.

A film that shows just how easy adopting the whole foods vegan diet can be is “Forks Over Knives Presents: The Engine 2 Kitchen Rescue.” The work features Rip Esselstyn, author of “The Engine 2 Diet” and a former firefighter and triathlete, who visits two families and helps them to transition to what he calls a “plant-strong diet!”
