Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days is an independent
documentary film that chronicles six Americans with diabetes who switch
to a diet consisting entirely of vegan, organic, uncooked food in order
to reverse disease without pharmaceutical medication. The six are
challenged to give up meat, dairy, sugar, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine,
soda, junk food, fast food, processed food, packaged food, and even
cooked food for 30 days.
The film follows each participants remarkable journey and captures
the medical, physical, and emotional transformations brought on by this
radical diet and lifestyle change. We witness moments of struggle,
support, and hope as what is revealed, with startling clarity, is that
diet can reverse disease and change lives.
The film highlights each of the six before they begin the program and
we first meet them in their home environment with their families. Each
participant speaks candidly about their struggle to manage their
diabetes and how it has affected every aspect of their life, from work
to home to their relationships.
