The Top Ten Independent Films of 2013 that could Change the World… and Why!
VITALITY
If vitality was within our grasp and everyone knew how to achieve it!

With interviews from leading experts in the medical field, this movie helps us understand our personal role in health and empowers us to get up and get involved. Both inspiring and educational, this movie is helping reframe our understanding of health in a model that is Vitalistic instead of Mechanistic.

God bless our protectors.” -Dennis Miller

If we didn’t let age or past failures stop us from continuing to live large and go after our dreams!
