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.
How it feels
This documentary makes a case that eating a whole-food, plant-based diet can prevent or reverse chronic diseases. It follows several people who adopt this way of eating and tracks their health outcomes. The film connects diet to conditions like heart disease and diabetes through interviews with medical researchers.

What happens
Forks Over Knives refers to both a 2011 American documentary film and brand that includes books, a magazine, and a website. The original film argues for the health benefits of a whole-food, plant-based diet. In other words, a dietary pattern that avoids all animal products and ultra-processed foods. It emphasizes whole grains, legumes, tubers, vegetables, and fruits, arguing that the diet promoted in the film may serve as a form of chronic illness intervention. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
