Raw Family, by the Boutenko's
The inspiring true story of a family who, through necessity, found themselves on the raw/live food path. The final straw for Victoria was when she was told that her son, diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes, would have to be injected with insulin for the rest of his life and that there was no cure. Through her despair, Victoria reasoned that there must be another way; another answer for her son and family. One day she saw a very radiant and happy looking woman in the bank and again asked the question. The answer: "Eat raw food!

RAW VEGAN RADIO
http://www.rawveganradio.comI just discovered this radio station and heaps of interesting interviews with Raw food personalities
REVVELLATIONS ~ Celebrating Your Potential.
Revvell Revati will introduce you to many ideas and ways of being often not generally known and/or accepted by the mainstream. It is about living in freedom; choosing to be happy and joy-filled and possibly sharing new ideas not often encountered in our day-to-day lives. I will be interviewing authors and speakers on various topics and raw foodists on what that means to them. One thing I do with each person is find out where they came from; how did they get to where they are? Were they supported on their journey? What was their childhood like? These and other things will be asked to assist listeners in finding their potential. As I have done these interviews over the last months I have gotten emails from people telling me that because of one thing someone said, they have changed their lives and even created new livelihoods. It is amazing what will touch and inspire someone. Download from itunes here

MOVIES / DOCOs
We have discovered so many amazing documentaries and movies on the Raw Food and Sustainable lifestyle!
Filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of E. coli—the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults.
Fresh the Movie
The End of the Line
The End of the Line, the first major feature documentary film revealing the impact of overfishing on our oceans, In the film we see firsthand the effects of our global love affair with fish as food.

No Impact Man
Colin Beavan decides to completely eliminate his personal impact on the environment for the next year.
It means eating vegetarian, buying only local food, and turning off the refrigerator. It also means no elevators, no television, no cars, buses, or airplanes, no toxic cleaning products, no electricity, no material consumption, and no garbage.
