The Beautiful Truth 2008

The Beautiful Truth (2008)     A fifteen-year-old boy's mother dies suddenly in a tragic accident, naturally he becomes distraught and is nearly expelled from school.  His father becomes increasingly concerned and decides to begin home-schooling.  The family lives on a reserve in Alaska and Garrett is very sensitive to the needs of the orphaned animals that come into his care.  He's learned that their diet is very important and can be life or death in the beginning of their lives.  Garrett sets out to study the claims made by Dr. Max Gerson on the importance of nutrition and that diet can cure cancer.
     Very interesting, Garrett travels to meet and interview the people who have information for his study.  This film encourages you to find out more on your own and to evaluate your own nutrition.  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)

92 min, Documentary directed by Steve Kroschel with Charlotte Gerson, Jay Kordich, Garrett Kroschel, Joyce Riley, Howard Straus.

Note:  Blockbuster 3 1/2*, imdb 6.0 out of 10, 47% critic 71% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
