VITALITY is an invaluable examination of the state of healthcare today and how things can be vastly improved. Writer-director Pedram Shojai, a respected acupuncturist, herbalist, author and teacher, makes a convincing case that the current medical system is failing due to an emphasis on the treatment of disease instead of prevention.
In the film, Shojai interviews some of the top names in the health and wellness field, who all discuss the ways we can learn to heal ourselves. They explore the basic lifestyle practices that enhance health and increase vitality - and those that inhibit well-being. Vitality, the participants agree, is something that emerges from within, and once we learn how to tap into it, we can begin to step out of the trap of the broken medical system.
