THE FOOD CURE presents an intimate portrait of six cancer patients who make the radical decision to turn their backs on conventional medicine and put their faith in a controversial alternative cancer treatment based on food.

The Food Cure follows the journeys of six cancer patients who turn their backs on conventional medicine to try a little known treatment based entirely on food. Filmed over five years, it offers a rare inside look at the controversial world of alternative cancer therapies and the patients who pin their hopes on them.

THE FOOD CURE - HOPE OR HYPE? tells the stories of six cancer patients who attempt to heal their disease with a nutritional approach after conventional methods failed or could only offer a dire prognosis. The open-ended character-driven film observes how the protagonists fare with their choice over a period of five years - the point at which cancer patients become considered 'survivors'.
