Mission Statement-

As the president of Omnivite Nutrition Inc. and the director of the Tabor Hill Clinic I am in the business of improving the health of people and the planet earth. We are in a very critical stage in human history. Our survival on the earth as well as that of all other species depends on being educated and making conscious decisions.

I have selected the movies below as educational tools to learn more about food, medicine, environmental issues, politics, history and generally the survival of the human species.  Some of these movies are in the form of: a documentary, a docu-drama, an interview, a biography, or a semi-fictional educational experience. They will be both entertaining and educational. There are some science fiction movies included as well that bring up important social, ethical and philosophical issues and allow for thought provoking ideas.

The following movies I recommend to see in the following rough chronological order:
