March 19, 2006 (Press Release) --
“Breakthrough” is an independent film documenting the life of a raw-vegan family. The film brings you into the life of the Talifero family who eat a raw vegan diet of 100% raw organic vegetables, fruits, seeds, nuts and sprouts. With four children ranging from 1 to 11 years old the Taliferos live in the mountains near Los Angeles where they do “home-birth”, “home-school”, and “home-business” in a warm, creative and adventurous family culture.
The family is shown climbing mountains, doing animations, playing music, preparing food, eating, gardening, and visiting the doctor for a check-up. Charts compare nutrients in raw food and cooked food. Storm’s 300 lb. nephew is filmed over a three month period losing 75 lbs. on the raw vegan diet. The family discusses how the loss of extended family members led them to their alternative lifestyle choices.
In an exhilarating scene Storm’s eldest son Snow who spent much of his life as a raw-vegan is shown climbing 7-story high Gibraltar Rock in Santa Barbara with no ropes. Scenes like this distinguish “Breakthrough” from instructional raw food videos and bring the actual effects of a raw food lifestyle into focus with a “proof is in the raw-pudding” attitude.
Storm has been a raw-vegan for 30 years. At 57 years of age he appears decades younger with an athletic body-builder’s physique and the lifestyle of an extreme adventurer. Jinjee has been a raw vegan on and off for 12 years and at 38 years old she continues to rejuvenate and increase her fitness level. Jinjee home-birthed her four children and the film shows her tummy totally flat only 10 days after giving birth to her fourth baby. Jinjee compares her two cooked-vegan pregnancies and two raw-vegan pregnancies crediting the painless births to the raw-vegan diet.
The Taliferos are marketing their film without a distributor. “The Internet has a huge network of people interested in the raw-vegan diet, veganism, and alternative health.” says co-producer Jinjee Talifero. “We are excited about the response to the film so far and the opportunity the Internet presents for film-makers to get their message out to people directly”.
“Breakthrough” is available on DVD at http://www.TheGardenDiet.com. You can view a “Breakthrough” trailer online at http://www.BreakthroughTheDocumentary.com
