One of the most important films of the year debuts this weekend. The much anticipated FORKS OVER KNIVES is now in theaters nationwide! 

According to the FORKS OVER KNIVES press release, the film "examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the so-called "diseases of affluence" that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods. The major story line in the film traces the personal journeys of a pair of pioneering yet under-appreciated researchers, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn."

In yesterday's Huffington Post essay, co-authored by Dr. Esselstyn and Dr. Campbell, they describe the film as focusing "not just on the research that both of us have been engaged in over the last four decades, whether in China and Cornell or at the Cleveland Clinic; it also traces the journey of several Americans as they move from a lifetime of eating mostly animal-based and processed foods to a whole food plant-based diet, and the extraordinary medical results that follow. It is educational, entertaining, and literally life-saving."

FORKS OVER KNIVES also features prominent plant-based health experts Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Matthew Ledermen, Dr. Alona Pulde and Dr. Terry Mason. Several vegan athletes also make appearances in the film, including Austin firefighter Rip Esselstyn, triathlete Ruth Heidrich and ultimate fighter/martial arts expert Mac Danzig. In addition, Farm Sanctuary president Gene Baur is interviewed about the important ethical reasons for vegan living.
