Forks Over Knives (2011)

-->

Forks Over Knives (2011) is an American activist film that advocates a low-fat, whole-food, plant-based diet as a way to avoid or reverse several chronic diseases. The film recommends a vegan diet but calls it "whole foods plant-based" to stress that processed food should be avoided as well as food of animal origin.

This is an inspirational film; but it is clear that it promotes a vegan diet.  I was not totally convinced that the protagonists were not just drinking the Kool-Aid.  Still, well-worth watching.

22 Grams

The complex interconnected story of how the lives of a former drug addict and single mother, Christine (Naomi Watts), a terminally ill mathematics professor, Paul (Sean Penn), and a spiritual ex-convict, Jack (Benicio Del Toro), intersect after a car accident. Clea DuVall co-stars in this gritty drama that's ultimately about hope and redemption.
