We have spent three years of our lives making this film, and have completely self-funded it ourselves. From April - June 2011, it was released in cinemas in 90 cities across the States and 5 cities across the UK. The film was was thought to be so important, that it was even been shown in London's Parliament by the Shadow Minister for the Environment to galvanise support over changes in food policy. We know that people like the film when they watch it, and that it's inspiring people to make positive changes in their lives. It's also been critically acclaimed, here's what the press are saying: “Should be compulsory viewing” (THE HERALD), “Utterly compelling” (EMPIRE), “Punchy and inspirational” (★★★★TOTAL FILM), “For fans of cookery programmes it is likely to be love at first sight” (★★★★EYE FOR FILM), “Compelling scientific evidence” (★★★TIME OUT).
But what we're missing now is the money to market the film, and get it out to as many people as possible, that's why we need your help. Please join us in our efforts to get the film shown all over the world, by hosting your own screening of the film. Screenings have been arranged so far by foodies, eco-warriors, and doctors in places as far flung as ireland, South Africa, Japan and Germany.

Our "packaging style" is quite important as it enables us to feature the films on the actual "check-out" counters (where everyone sees them) - whilst most other DVDs are relagated to a back section where they are available only to people who specifically seek them out. In this way we able to reach a much broader audience - we are getting into the hands of people who did not originally intend to purchase material relating to environmental issues.
So far we have a presence in the top thirty book stores in Cape Town, the Garden Route, Orange Free State.
We have heard about Planeat and would like to help distribute in South Africa. Please see our website for further info : www.activist.co.za
