By the film’s conclusion, Cross had not only lost a substantial amount of weight, but also rid himself of the medication he had taken for years to manage a chronic and debilitating auto-immune disease. The first film followed the Australian’s 60-day journey across America to spread his belief in the restorative power of fresh fruit and vegetable juice, and the people he met along the way.


In 2010, Cross put into practice a powerful yet simple notion – that the healing power of fresh juice from fruits and vegetables could be an effective solution to the twin global epidemics of chronic illness and obesity. Packed with interviews from experts who have identified the key components of wellbeing and the tools for achieving it, the film also revisits the people Cross met along the way four years ago, with the entertaining blend of information, humour and compassion that is his signature style.
