That Sugar Film

Synopsis

With a baby on the way, filmmaker Damon Gameau has become increasingly worried about staying healthy. His main concern is the hidden sugars in foods we commonly perceive as ‘healthy’. To reveal their dangers he commits to a high-sugar-only diet, allowing the camera to document every extreme his body endures. Grappling the issue with frankness and humour - reminiscent of Super Size Me - and incorporating animation and celebrity cameos to highlight his learnings along the way, this is an engaging and pertinent film that will make you think before you eat.
