SO WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?
THAT SUGAR FILM is one man’s journey to discover the bitter truth about sugar. Damon Gameau embarks on a unique experiment to document the effects of a high sugar diet on a healthy body, consuming only foods that are commonly perceived as ‘healthy’. Through this entertaining and informative journey, Damon highlights some of the issues that plague the sugar industry, and where sugar lurks on supermarket shelves. THAT SUGAR FILM will forever change the way you think about ‘healthy’ food.

THE EXPERIMENT:

Damon only eats the perceived ‘healthy’ foods that are in fact laden with hidden sugars like low fat yoghurt, muesli bars, juices and cereals.


The film features guest cameos from the likes of Stephen Fry, Isabel Lucas and Brenton Thwaites, interviews with Gary Taubes, Michael Moss and Kimber Stanhope plus a rocking soundtrack including Depeche Mode, Peter Gabriel and Florence and the Machine.

But we are looking to do so much more than just the film. Our aim with this website is to provide a place of learning, inspiration and action. In the months ahead, we will provide opportunities to screen the film at schools, make available a study guide we have developed that incorporates interactive activities using the film and soon to be released ‘That Sugar Book’ as tools, as well as Damon’s tips and methods to explain how he got healthy again after the sugar eating experiment. We will also be providing the opportunity to help take action in reducing the sugar content in our school’s canteens and in a very special Aboriginal community that we visit in the film.

This is actually the only movie I went to see in theater in Australia and it was really enjoyable and challenging in the sense that he mindfully goes sugar full.

Damon actually had already stopped eating sugar since a while when he begins the experiment.
Under medical survey, for 60 days he is gonna have those 40 daily tablespoons of sugar from a variety of different food, but no junk food.

The results are astonishing and we can see how addict he becomes, he is actually quite funny to observe and there's plenty of humor into that movie-documentary. The side-effects are numerous and I really liked that he focused on "how to get in really bad conditions in a few weeks" by doing it himself. It has a more shocking effect than "go healthy".

There's some great interviews and historical data too.

I would recommend it to gain awareness on "That sugar rain" effect on a wider scale.

Thanks Starshine. This is a must watch movie. In fact this is must watch movie for everybody. People must realise what is the main culprit for almost all health problems today. Its Sugar, not the saturated fats. I must watch this. :)
 
This sounds like an interesting film, thank you for sharing Starshine. Being a former sugar addict, I can attest to the way it had me hooked and constantly thinking about the next fix. Not sure when it will be playing here in the UK, but I shall keep my eyes peeled.
