Plot 411: An interesting look at one family's alternative lifestyle - eat clean, live clean, surf clean.
Review: This documentary focused on the life and teachings of Dorian "Doc" Paskowitz and his family of 11. After becoming a successful medical doctor, Doc gave up his practice to travel the world with his family. His third wife Juliette became mother of eight boys and a girl. Together they lived financially poor but emotionally rich. The children were not properly educated in the public school system of any country. Instead, they learned life lessons on the road and were able to focus on the fundamentals of life. These teachings had a profound effect on everyone, and through the doc you'll see how it both positively and negatively affected the kids. Doc's teachings seem to weave together outrageous ideas and his non-conforming outlook puzzled many people, including his children. It's hard to tell whether he was a philosopher ahead of his times or simply a dictator with complete authority over his brood. If nothing else, this doc will give you a glimpse of another life and lifestyle and help you see another way of living.
Watch It: Because it's kinda weird in a cult-like way but also awe inspiring.
Skip It: If you're a conservative fundamentalist. This guy will seem like a radical.
