Everyman
A Taste of Hunger
1979 • E18 Oct 28, 1979 50m
This summer a group of volunteers spent five days under medical supervision in a Kent farm-house living on nothing but mineral water. By the end of the week reporter Peter France , who joined the fast for Everyman, was 13lbs lighter, and totally converted to the benefits of not eating for a week.
This film follows the group's physical and emotional changes day by day, in an attempt to understand why fasting has played such a prominent part in religious traditions.
