As honeybees continue to disappear at an alarming rate,
filmmakers probe the political, economic, and ecological overtones of
"Colony Collapse Disorder." The film illustrates the critical
connection between the human race and the honeybee, and attempts not only to
solve this disturbing mystery, but to provide us with suggestions for reversing
it.
Pioneering
researchers Dr T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn examine the
profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict
us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting all animal-based and
processed foods. What the movie lacks in excitement, it more
than makes up for in eye-opening information.
It will definitely help motivate those who are interested in improving their
diet.
