Description
Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days by Aiyana Elliott and Leda Maliga follows six people with diabetes through a tightly defined raw vegan intervention under constant observation. What holds the film together is not a grand theory but the day-to-day strain of change: cravings, skepticism, hope, physical responses, and the emotional weight of trying something demanding in full view of others. It leans openly toward food-based transformation, but its strongest material comes from watching discipline, belief, and measurable markers collide over a short, structured month.

About the Director / Filmmaker
Aiyana Elliott, director and producer, is an independent nonfiction filmmaker whose public record is anchored above all by The Ballad of Ramblin’ Jack, the Sundance-recognized portrait of her father, followed by Simply Raw. What stands out is a small but distinct documentary path built around personal access, family intimacy, and character-centered storytelling rather than a large commercial catalogue, with her work emerging from close proximity to the people she films.

Who It’s Best For
Viewers exploring intensive food-led diabetes change will obtain the most from this, especially if they are questioning medication-first assumptions and weighing strict dietary experiments around blood sugar. It also fits those comparing low-fat, plant-based claims with other metabolic approaches.
Production Company / Studio
Independent Production
Approach
Centered on a 30-day raw-food intervention, the documentary lets participant routines, setbacks, and measurable changes carry the argument. Its framing is explicitly food-first and advocacy-led, with little interest in staging clinical uncertainty.
