From Sundance Award-Winning, Oscar-shortlisted filmmakers Josh and Rebecca Tickell ("Fuel", "The Big Fix", "Pump", "Good Fortune") comes "Down to Earth", a groundbreaking and vitally important film that reveals that the answer to America’s biggest health crisis may be literally right under our feet. It’s called “grounding” or “earthing” and it means directly connecting one’s body to the Earth to restore the electromagnetic balance needed to maintain optimal health. As the film reveals, the surface of planet Earth is negatively charged. This negative charge, when connected to human skin, reduces inflammation throughout the body, thins the blood, regulates sleep, balances hormones and contributes to other positive health effects.
"Down to Earth" shows a growing mountain of peer-reviewed research that shatters modern medical thinking. From reducing heart disease, to restoring balance in prenatal babies, to reducing or eliminating restless leg syndrome, to radically decreasing the recovery time for athletes, the film shows that study after study proves the effectiveness of grounding the human body.
"Down to Earth" features exclusive interviews with scientists, physicists, medical doctors and well-known grounding advocates who explain both the science and their often life-changing personal experience with grounding. Along with wellness expert Deepak Chopra, M.D, actress Amy Smart and actress Mariel Hemingway, filmmakers Josh and Rebecca Tickell take you on a surprising healing journey. If you or somebody you know suffers from any form of chronic pain, "Down to Earth" just might bring you back to life.
Join special guests from the film, including actresses Mariel Hemingway and Amy Smart, along with filmmakers Josh and Rebecca Tickell for this premiere event and post-film discussion.
