What the Health

• Documentary

Driven by a personal health scare, filmmaker Kip Andersen embarks on a deeply inquisitive exploration into the systemic disconnect between dietary science and the recommendations of major health institutions. This isn’t a simple advocacy for veganism, but a rigorous, often unsettling investigation into the powerful economic forces influencing nutritional advice – specifically the animal agriculture and pharmaceutical industries. The documentary unfolds as a compelling personal transformation, shifting from a quest for individual wellness to a startling exposure of vested interests and potential collusion, fostering a mood of mounting disbelief and cautious optimism as potential solutions are unveiled. It’s a provocative, evidence-based film that relentlessly challenges viewers to reconsider their understandings of health, disease, and the motivations behind public health messaging.
