A 15-year-old Alaskan teenager embarks on a cross-country road trip to investigate Dr. Max Gerson's controversial claim of a dietary cure for cancer.

It's Michael Moore without the truculence, PBS without the pretension, CNN without the commercial grandstanding.

Rated: 4/4

Comes off mostly like a hybrid of retro-style educational film and late-night infomercial.

Rated: 2/5

[A] condescending, manipulative film.

Caveat emptor really applies here, because your health is at stake. Do your research, do your homework, and use common sense.

Rated: 6/10

Spirituality & Practice

A powerful documentary that offers both a chilling expose of the toxins in our food that are causing so much disease and an affirmation of a plant-oriented therapy that has cured cancer in many individuals.

Rated: 4/5

Film Journal International

An unusual and sobering documentary which turns conventional wisdom about health matters on its head.

Some good information, but it's very propaganda like. Sensationalizing and extreme.

A MUST WATCH if there ever was one. This film explicitly defines the ignorance and corruption of American society. In the face of a scientific truth, many parties continue to seek their own satisfaction rather than admit that Gerson therapy has cured many "terminal" diseases such as cancer. Ashamed.
