Full Plot Details

A troubled 15-year-old boy attempting to cope with the recent death of his mother sets out to research Dr. Max Gerson's claims of a diet that can cure cancer as his first assignment for home-schooling in this documentary from filmmaker Steve Kroschel (Avalanche, Dying to Have Known). Garrett is a boy who has always been close to nature. He lives on a reserve with a menagerie of orphaned animals, and over the years he's become especially sensitive to the nutritional needs of the diet-sensitive animals he's charged with caring for. When Garrett's mother suffers a tragic and untimely death, the boy falls into a dangerous downward spiral and nearly flunks out of school. Increasingly concerned for Garrett's well-being and determined to strengthen their bond despite the many challenges on the horizon, his father makes the decision to begin home-schooling the distressed teen. Garrett's first assignment: study a controversial book written by Dr. Max Gerson, a physician who claims to have discovered a diet that's capable of curing cancer. Is Dr. Gerson's therapy truly the legitimate, alternative cure it appears to be? In order to find out the truth behind this long-suppressed treatment, Garrett interviews not only Dr. Gerson's family members, but various doctors, skeptics, and cancer patients as well. His studies completed and his findings revelatory, Garrett now sets out to tell the entire world about The Gerson Miracle.

Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Jonathan CurielIt's Michael Moore without the truculence, PBS without the pretension, CNN without the commercial grandstanding.
Film Journal International - 9/10 by Eric MonderAn unusual and sobering documentary which turns conventional wisdom about health matters on its head.
Movie Metropolis - 6/10 by James PlathCaveat emptor really applies here, because your health is at stake. Do your research, do your homework, and use common sense.
Compuserve - 6/10 by Harvey S. KartenQuack or saint? Dr. Gerson, whose work in allegedly curing cancer by alternative means, is highlighted in a light, even convincing way.
Variety - 6/10 by Ronnie ScheibFascinating glimpse into wholly different body of laws, engrossingly evolving script and standout performances.
Boxoffice Magazine - 5/10 by Matthew NestelThe picture carries an element of nostalgia and yet thunders down too hard with a lot of one-sided perspectives.
Los Angeles Times - 4/10 by Gary GoldsteinComes off mostly like a hybrid of retro-style educational film and late-night infomercial.
Time Out - 3/10 by Drew ToalThe director's suggestion that big pharmaceutical companies have no interest in actually curing cancer is credible, but the film itself unfortunately makes Kroschel's beliefs come off like just so much hippie propaganda.
New York Times - 3/10 by Nathan LeeThe Beautiful Truth is a documentary about contemporary health hazards and alternative treatments.
User Review - 10/10 by Cindi EExcellent documentary, really makes you think about modern medicine and how we could all be better off by just eating a bit healthier. Makes me hate Monsanto more than I did before x.X
