From Food to Freedom (2023)

Imagine what would happen if you took six people suffering from type 2 diabetes and put them in a house together for 10 days, with only delicious food as their medicine. That’s what filmmaker Nelson Campbell and his team did. The results were astounding.

• Documentary

From Food to Freedom tells the story of a live-in immersion program in Greensboro, NC with six participants (and two spouses) diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The 10-day program includes biometric testing, physician supervision, and daily meals. As we go through the immersion, we hear from participants of their past struggles living with such a dreaded disease, and we hear of their hope for a better life. We watch firsthand as they suddenly change their diet from a standard American diet to a whole food plant-based diet, and we see how this leads to unexpected and astounding results.
