PLANEAT is an award-winning British documentary film directed by Or Shlomi and Shelley Lee Davies. It features the ground-breaking work of Dr. T Colin Campbell in China exploring the link between diet and disease, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn's use of diet to treat heart disease patients, and Professor Gidon Eshel's investigations into how our food choices contribute to global warming, wasteful land use, and ocean dead zones.

Informative and encouraging, PLANEAT is the story of three men's life-long search for a diet that is good for our health, good for the environment, and good for the future of the planet. With an additional cast of pioneering chefs and some of the best cooking you have ever seen, the scientists & doctors in the film present a convincing case for the West to adopt a plant-based diet, to benefit both human health and the health of the planet.

With the help of some innovative farmers and chefs, PLANEAT shows how the problems we face today can be solved, without simply resorting to a diet of lentils and lettuce leaves. The film journeys through diverse cultures and culinary traditions, presenting some of the most stunning, flavorful dishes ever filmed.

This powerful documentary film inspires us to make the right food choices, choices that can dramatically reduce our risk of heart disease and cancer, protect our environment, and make life on our planet sustainable while celebrating the joys of food.
