THE FILM THAT LAUNCHED THE MOVEMENT

Released in May 2011, the hit documentary
Forks Over Knives
examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting animal-based and processed foods. The film traces the personal journeys of Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn as they uncover more and more evidence for the benefits of a whole-foods, plant-based diet, and features several other experts whose findings corroborate theirs.
Forks Over Knives
also uncovers the history that led to the modern “Western diet”—high in meat, dairy, and processed foods—and presents the challenges and triumphs of several patients with chronic diseases who benefited by switching to a plant-based diet.
