The Gut Movie (2018)
In The Gut Movie, we follow the journey of journalist & researcher Kale Brock as, in the quest to discover whether the ‘optimal microbiome’ does indeed exist, he travels from Australia to Namibia to live with The San, an ancient hunter-gatherer people living traditionally from the land. During the excursion Brock monitors his own microbiome and how it changes in conjunction with the new surroundings, and takes microbiome samples of The San to gauge the significant differences in microbiota present across cultures.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
