As seen through our TV and computer screens, the world can seem like a pretty dark place. But I have great optimism for the future, because it is always the deepest darkness that prompts the greatest light. There is a thought that I believe will soon emerge, leading us to a new paradigm for how societies ought to function. On its face, this thought may seem obvious, but I would argue it has been far from obvious over the course of human history. At the root of all our trouble is greed, hate, or a combination of the two. We know what hate is, but let me clarify that when I say “greed,” I am not talking about only money....

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who contributed to our successful Kickstarter campaign. These funds will be critical in the implementation of our plans. Your support also ‘puts wind in our sails.’ What we have done has not been easy. We have worked long and difficult hours, and have taken considerable risk. It is nice to know that we are not doing this alone, and have the support of so many people who are just as passionate as we are about this life and world-changing health message. I also should mention that we are getting ready for the west coast leg of our tour, with our next screening scheduled for June 2 in Seattle. If you...

What we have seen on the road has vindicated our strategy for a PlantPure nation. This experience has been incredibly uplifting because of all the inspiring people we have met along the way. The passion expressed by these people has underscored for us the potential of a mass movement around this powerful concept of plant-based nutrition. And it has underscored why we need to move away from the old model of communicating this idea through personality-based diet brands. We need a new strategy to engage millions of people to become the proponents of this message within their families, workplaces and communities. And this is what we will do through our PlantPure Pods. We have developed a concept for a national...

Since my last blog, we have had several successful screenings. One consistent theme has been the stories we hear from people who have been healed from plant-based nutrition. In one screening, a lady stood up in the Q&A to share a story about her partner, who was sitting next to her. This person had been on insulin for type 2 diabetes for several years when he heard about a plant-based diet. He made the change in his diet and his glucose numbers started improving. He went back to his doctor and asked that his medication be lowered, but his doctor wouldn’t cooperate, and got so frustrated with his ‘unstable’ glucose readings that he told this man to go off the...

We are now well into the first leg of our screening tour. The crowds so far have been large and enthusiastic, which is gratifying given all the hard work we put into this film. But what has struck me most in this first leg of our journey is the deep passion and joy people seem to have around this idea of plant-based nutrition. After the film, people come up to us thanking us for our efforts, but I just want to thank them, because it seems that everyone coming to us is working in their own way to bring this message into the world. This is a very humbling experience. No one of us is more special than the...

From March 15 until May 14th, PlantPure Nation’s Kickstarter campaign will be raising marketing and outreach funds to bring the documentary to even more cities than currently planned. Our goal is to bring the message of plant-based nutrition to Main Street America and your support will help us realize this vision. Releasing and marketing a film in wide distribution is a time-consuming and expensive endeavor and PlantPure Nation’s $150,000 Kickstarter goal will cover the costs associated with establishing a wider release strategy. We have established this is our minimum goal, but we hope we far exceed this target. The more funds we raise, the more we can do to bring this film to people everywhere.

Thank you for visiting our website. We have developed an innovative strategy for launching and powering a grassroots movement. We believe that people working together can fix one of the most serious problems of our time, and in the process, demonstrate a way forward for solving many of our other pressing problems. We often look up to people and institutions to lead us from a distance. But if we want to take back our future, perhaps we ought to stop looking up, and start looking within and around ourselves for solutions. Importantly, this movement does not depend upon my father (Dr. Colin Campbell), me or any other person or small group of people. It will derive its power from all the...
