Description
That Sugar Film by Damon Gameau follows the director as he eats a “healthy” high-sugar diet built from low-fat products, juices, cereals, and snacks that many people would never classify as junk. The experiment gives the film its momentum, but the deeper subject is how sugar hides inside everyday supermarket food and how quickly that confusion can distort mood, energy, weight, and liver health. Personal, playful, and pointed, it keeps its criticism aimed at processed-food culture rather than at sweetness in the abstract.

About the Director / Filmmaker
Damon Gameau, writer-director, author, and Regen Studios co-founder, works where documentary, campaigning, and ecological communication overlap. Official bios link him to That Sugar Film, 2040, Regenerating Australia, and Future Council, as well as books and public talks built around systems change. He favors clear, wide-reach nonfiction aimed at schools, communities, and decision-makers, using film less as an endpoint than as one part of a broader impact strategy built to keep circulating.

Who It’s Best For
A good match for viewers questioning how much hidden sugar sits inside foods sold as sensible or healthy choices. It also helps those trying to separate calorie talk from wider concerns about processed food, labeling, and metabolic consequences.

Approach
A self-experiment provides the central mechanism, turning everyday packaged foods into an ongoing demonstration of sugar exposure. Expert commentary and graphics support the argument, but persuasion comes mainly through staged bodily proof rather than detached reporting.
