What the Health

What the Health critically examines the relationship between food systems overseen by governments and corporations. It exposes alleged corruption and collusion that leave large segments of the population unhealthy and cost trillions of dollars in healthcare.

Filmmaker Kip Andersen explores potential ways to prevent and reverse the chronic diseases that many people grapple with today. The documentary examines the reasons behind the reluctance of prominent health organisations to inform and support the public in addressing these health problems. With cancer and heart disease remaining the leading causes of death in America, and rates of diabetes continuing to rise, the film claims to uncover what it presents as one of the greatest health cover-ups of the modern era.

The film depicts conflicts of interest and the damaging roles played by agribusiness, pharmaceutical companies, and animal food processing industries in undermining public health, particularly among vulnerable sections of society. It also highlights the personal transformations of individuals who took matters into their own hands to improve their health and reclaim control over their wellbeing.

What the Health is a thought-provoking and provocative documentary that argues special interest groups encourage unhealthy habits among consumers. It addresses environmental racism and explores how animal agriculture affects community health. The film calls on audiences to rethink widely held beliefs about the relationship between business and food, the impact of diet on individual health, and the human body’s inherent ability to ward off and reverse diseases that continue to claim millions of lives worldwide.
