Newport International Film Festival 2008

This could easily have been Morgan Spurlock’s sequel to Super Size Me. Simply Raw… answers the reverse situation of what happens when people consume only healthy, natural, raw vegan foods? The film documents the journey of five Americans suffering from diabetes, who undergo a radical 30-day diet and lifestyle change in the hope of reversing or reducing their insulin dependence. In their stories we see a microcosm of the same questions and habits so many Americans have to answer for themselves. USA (2008) 92 minutes Special note: Meet the cast and filmakers at the "Catch a Healthy Habit" wine and raw food tasting at the Colony House situated across the street from The Jane Pickens' Theater, immediately following the June 5th screening.
