Having experienced great healing through a holistic approach, I had high hopes for this documentary.
But Kelly Noonan's ego got in the way of making a great film. As I watched, I thought, "Has any documentary filmmaker ever given themself so much screen time?!"
I suspected that she is actually an actress, who had a good idea for a documentary - an idea she hoped might get her face out there. Then I checked her IMDB page to confirm.
There is one scene in which Noonan inserts a comical shot of herself chewing grass, superimposed over a wide shot of cattle grazing. Why? Is she making light of her own assertion about the healing power of proper nutrition? I doubt that. Did she even consider the possibility that the shot might cost her some credibility with more skeptical viewers?
That's what bothers me the most about this film: it contains so much important information - information that could save lives - but most people will never see it. Because, under Noonan's direction, it's not a good film. In the hands of a more capable documentary filmmaker, these interviews could have changed public opinion about healing.
