"The cure for cancer has been discovered."
~The Gerson Miracle
The Gerson Miracle documents the amazing work of Dr. Max Gerson whose Gerson method has successfully treated all types of cancers since 1928.
Sharing the stories of nine longtime cancer survivors, this film explores the principles and effectiveness of Gerson Therapy, a holistic method of treating cancer and other degenerative diseases. Gerson's daughter, Charlotte -- founder of the Gerson Institute -- also discusses her fight to keep the controversial therapy going despite objections from those who question its effectiveness.
Gerson targets nutritional deficiency and environmental toxins such as chlorine, fluoride and pesticides - all of which are currently added to the US supply of water and food -as major factors causing cancer.
Not surprisingly, the US is one of the only countries in which the practice has been banned.
Dr. Gerson died of arsenic poisoning immediately after writing a book on his method.

The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990 nearly sent Cuba's economy into a complete tailspin. In a matter of hours, the island nation's oil imports were cut in half and their food imports decreased by 80%.
This documentary tells of not only the hardships of what the Cuban people came to call "the Special Period"; but of the creativity and power of a mobilized collective community. Cubans share how they transitioned from a highly oil-dependent, industrial agricultural system to one utilizing organic agriculture, community gardens and sustainable energy technologies.
The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil is a project of the Arthur Morgan Institute for Community Solutions - a non-profit organization that designs and teaches low-energy solutions to the current unsustainable, fossil fuel based, industrialized, and centralized way of living.

"Everyone who is concerned about Peak Oil needs to see this film. Cuba survived an energy famine during the 1990's, and how it did so constitutes one of the most important and hopeful stories of the past not just of individual achievement, but one of the collective mobilization of an entire society to meet an enormous challenge."

Our lives, our cultures, are composed of many overlapping stories. Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice -- and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding.
