Supercharge Me: 30 Days Raw: DATE CHANGE

[Guest guest]

Dear Raw Community,

 

I'm writing to let you know that there has been a development with

the screening of Supercharge Me: 30 Days Raw. We are moving the

screening up a day, to show on Saturday, August 18 at 6:30 p.m.

instead of on August 19 at 5:30 p.m. The reason for the change is

that the filmmaker can now come into town on Saturday night, which

is a much better day to show a movie, and b) we have scheduled a

special private reception after-party with the filmmaker as a

fundraiser for Raw Network of Washington, which will be held at

Chaco Canyon Cafe from 9:00 p.m. onward, the details of which will

be posted later.

 

" Supercharge Me! " is one of the most talked-about documentaries this

year. In March " Supercharge Me " won " Best Motivational Film " at the

first-ever Raw Lifestyle Film Festival in Hollywood, California after

already having won the " Best Documentary " award at the prestigious

9th Annual Tofino Film Festival on Vancouver Island, British

Columbia. Tofino is an international showplace for entertaining

films dedicated to the environment, conservation and healthy living.

 

This independent documentary film is the story of one young woman's

lifelong dream: to dress up as a Las Vegas showgirl for Halloween.

That dream met bulging reality in the mirror, but she was determined

to make her dream come true by spending 30 days eating only vegan,

raw, organic food and learning a new lifestyle. The " rawcumentary "

is the healthy answer to " Super Size Me, " the documentary by Morgan

Spurlock who ate only McDonald's food for 30 days and suffered the

consequences.

 

Emmy Award-winning TV producer John Biffar called the film not only

entertaining and engaging, " ... but one that does what few films

can ... make you a different person by the time the credits roll. "

Ben Vereen said, " I love it! " Praise comes also from Chris Haley,

nephew of author Alex Haley (Roots) and Director of the Utopia Film

Festival in Greenbelt, Maryland. When " Supercharge Me! " was screened

there, Haley termed it " not only a crowd-pleaser, but it sparked

action on many of its viewers to get out and immediately ravage some

raw foods! "

 

" Supercharge Me " tells the journalistic story of veteran public

relations professional and independent producer Jenna Norwood. Her

Las Vegas dream took her on an odyssey from Sarasota, Florida to San

Diego, California, where she began a 30-day raw food " detox "

program. The program focused on cleansing the body from the inside

out and learning a lifestyle based on uncooked " living foods, "

including organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, sprouted grains

and juices. Cameras followed Jenna as she interviewed raw food guru

David Wolfe, doctors, celebrities (Ben Vereen and Kathy Sledge) and

others who follow the raw food lifestyle.
