The same film crew responsible for PlantPure Nation recently completed a new film called, From Food to Freedom. A project of the nonprofit PlantPure Communities, From Food to Freedom tells the story of a live-in immersion program in Greensboro, NC with six participants (and two spouses) diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
As we go through the immersion, we hear from participants of their past struggles living with such a dreaded disease and we watch firsthand as they suddenly change their diet from a standard American diet to a whole food plant-based diet and achieve unexpected and astounding results. Their individual stories and the story of the immersion also creates the opportunity for digressions into the topics of nutrition, chronic disease, immunity, and the Covid pandemic.
Imagine what would happen if you took six people suffering from type 2 diabetes and put them in a house together for 10 days, with only delicious food as their medicine. That’s what filmmaker Nelson Campbell and his team did. The results were astounding.
From Food to Freedom opens our eyes to the possibility of transformational change in society and it charts a hopeful pathway for people wanting to live free of disease and costly pharmaceuticals. For more, visit https://plantpurecommunities.org/watch-film/
