Forks Over Knives is a documentary (to be released March 11, 2011) about how plant-based diets can reverse common diseases like heart disease and diabetes. If you live in Los Angeles, you can attend a pre-screening at Graumann's Chinese Theater in Hollywood on November 11th. (RSVP here). There are also other pre-screenings happening all over the country.

The Facebook fan page for Forks Over Knives has more information about the film and upcoming screenings. Check out the preview above and let me know what you think!

I can't wait to see this.  I just watched "Foodmatters" over the weekend.  What a great, informative documentary.  Food is simply the best medicine! 

This film is incredible!! I got to see the screening in Nashville and I am so excited for the world to be enlightened by the evidence so clearly communicated here. 

Looks good-- I think I will definately watch it when it comes out next year.

Thank you so much for posting this. I feel very blessed to have been raised my entire life totally vegetarian (and now totally vegan) and it is SO important to get this information out to other parents who can change the lives and the health of their children with the switch to a vegan diet...I look forward to a day when consuming animal flesh will be thought of as barbariac as cannibalism...

I became a Vegan after reading The Kind Life.  My cholesterol in 4 months dropped from 498 to 136.  Now that is spretty special.  I was not over eating either.  I just ate meat/cheese, the difference has been shocking, happy but shocking to my doctor.   Debbie

I cannot wait to see this and to tell everyone I know who thinks this lifestyle is not powerful to see it! This really could be the solution to so many problems, and yet it is so overlooked and discredited. I am the only vegan in my family, so hopefully this documentary will show them how healthy these choices really are!

Joan Brown, I am really impressed with how you are working to educate your doctor!  I am a little intimidated by my doctor, but at the same time, she comes from a culture where many of the people are vegetarian for religious reasons and so is supportive of me, but she still finds it odd that I don't drink milk!

Jenna Reese, I am overwhelmed by your results!  God bless you and this diet!  I became vegan for ethical reasons, but one of the other results is that it has kept my cholesterol low while my other family members struggle with heart disease and its warning signs.  My dad had two heart attacks in his forties, my sister who is 37 (and very slim and active) has had to go on cholesterol medication.  I would like them to see this documentary, but they would say I am "preaching."
