PlantPure Nation is a 2015 American documentary film that advocates for a whole-food, plant-based diet.
Synopsis
PlantPure Nation features interviews with Dr. Michael Greger, Dr. Neal Barnard, and Professor T. Colin Campbell. It also follows Campbell's son, Nelson Campbell, as he attempts to establish a plant-based health initiative in Mebane, North Carolina,[1] after House Bill 550 failed to pass in the Kentucky House of Representatives.[2][3] Bill 550 would have established a two-week plant-based pilot nutrition program in Eastern Kentucky. The Bill described the pilot as "a science-based education component" and that it was "a nationally recognized online nutrition education program."[3][4]
Reception
PETA gave the film a positive review stating, "check to see if it’s coming to a theater near you, rent it, purchase it, and share it. Seriously, it’s a really motivational movie."[5] HuffPost's review was similarly positive, stating that the film "presents a compelling case and offers a simple solution to pervasive health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity."[6]
