Another good one by Doug Pray, 23 May 2008
10/10
Author: choul from United States

I agreed with a lot of things this family tried/did do, some things are a bit much for me. But I have seen a few of the Director Doug Pray's doc's and agree with the families choices or not, this was another great film.

Although the father could be widely criticized for his choices on raising his children, all in all I think it was done with good intentions. I think the big picture is: live well, eat healthy, be good to your fellow man and the earth. These are great standards to live by.

This was truly a great movie. I highly recommend it to documentary lovers, and non-doc lovers alike. Glad I watched it :)
