Bold Native Premieres This Week in LA

Sunny — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 22:53:33 +0000

Open Road’s latest creation, Bold Native, a fiction film about animal rights and animal liberation, premieres June 16th in Los Angeles.

In Bold Native, Charlie Cranehill, an animal liberator wanted by the United States government for domestic terrorism, emerges from the underground to coordinate a nationwide action as his estranged CEO father tries to find him before the FBI does. The film simultaneously follows a young woman who works for an animal welfare organization fighting within the system to establish more humane treatment of farmed animals. From abolitionists to welfarists, Bold Native takes on the issue of modern animal use and exploitation from several angles within the context of a road movie adventure story.

Keep your eyes peeled for Forks Over Knives

Sunny — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 18:07:39 +0000

The documentary Forks Over Knives examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods.

The major storyline in the film traces the personal journeys of a pair of pioneering yet under-appreciated researchers, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn.

Forks Over Knives is expected to be released summer of 2010. Be sure to get your copy!
