Part of the library's film series, "It's Real on Reel: A Documentary Series." "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" chronicles Joe Cross' journey, figuratively and literally as he adheres to a strict juice diet, while also traveling across America, speaking with Americans about diet, nutrition, and health.
Joe is morbidly obese and suffers from an auto-immune disease. While on his trek, he meets Phil who is even more overweight and suffers from the same auto-immune disease. The changes in both men's lives are amazing to watch.
Release Year: 2011. Running Time: 97 minutes. Not rated.
