The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Eating You Alive is a 2018 health documentary film about why Americans are suffering from chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, autoimmune disease, among other diseases, and whether the outcome can be changed. Paul David Kennamer Jr.'s film Eating You Alive addresses why and what Americans consume is the source of chronic diseases that harm the population, and can as well be the solution to save lives one meal at a time by improving people’s diet. In Eating You Alive, leading nutritionists and medical professionals provide a practical look at why Americans are so unhealthy, what is accountable for this, and how using whole-food, plant-based foods can improve an individual’s health. Kennamer and producer Merrilee Jacobs stated they were inspired by their personal experiences with whole-food, plant-based diets. The Executive Producer was Dan Purjes, and the film is owned by the non-profit Purjes Foundation. The documentary features Samuel L. Jackson, James Cameron, Neal D. Barnard, Joel Fuhrman, Michael Greger, and Dean Ornish, among others. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
