All I can say is WOW. I'd heard about this film when it was on the independent film festival circuit and couldn't wait to see it - especially after enjoying Morgan Spurlock's film 'Super Size Me' so much. If you think tv's reality show 'The Biggest Loser' is good inspiration for getting healthier and in shape, than this journey will really knock your socks off! A handful of 'real' people are introduced to a whole new way to approach and improve their health - and we get to go along for the ride! It's so much fun, and entertaining too - "reality" media at it's best. It's incredibly inspiring to watch these folks lose weight, lower their blood sugar levels naturally and make some great friendships while learning that you don't need to be at the mercy of insulin for the rest of your life.

Ciudad Juarez is a Mexican city which is near El Paso, TX, on the opposite side of the U.S./Mexico border. Since the adoption of the North American Free Trade Agreement, Ciudad Juarez has become a hub for international manufacturing, with a number of American firms opening plants there to take advantage of the city's large work force and wages far lower than their American counterparts would claim.
