The documentary film *PlantPure Nation* tells the story of three people 
on a quest to spread the message of one of the most important health 
breakthroughs of all time. After renowned nutritional scientist and 
bestselling author T. Colin Campbell gives a stirring speech on the 
floor of the Kentucky House of Representatives, his son, Nelson, and 
Kentucky State Representative Tom Riner work together to propose a pilot 
program documenting the health benefits of a plant-based diet. Once the 
legislation goes into Committee, agribusiness lobbyists kill the plan. 
Undeterred, Nelson decides to try his own pilot project in his hometown 
of Mebane, North Carolina.
