Here’s my review of the film Breakthrough, a raw documentary by Storm Talifero. (First published in Funky Raw Issue 7)
      |
This is a beautiful film. Storm is 57 but he certainly doesn’t look it. He runs, climbs mountains and makes films. He’s been eating raw for over 30 years. It’s slow and deliberate with beautiful natural music and imagery – if you are in a hurry this film is not for you!The film gives us a snapshot of how Storm, Jinjee and their 4 children live their lives. It shows how the children learn through play, and not by going to school. They are growing food in the garden and making animations and having lots of fun.It is very inspirational, just seeing the amount of energy the children have is amazing. Storm and Jinjee agree that it is necessary to stay active for health and they go mountain climbing, playing tag, etc.
The film also shows two of their family members who come and stay to learn about raw and health and weight loss on raw. My only criticism is that I think the film could have been edited a little more, it’s an hour and 45 minutes long and there are times when it drags a little, but all in all it’s worth it. You can purchase the film on DVD for only $19.95 (about £10) including worldwide delivery. |
We’ve got another raw DVD review in the next issue of Funky Raw (due in the middle of Sept), “Vegan Fitness: Built Naturally“.
