Sofia died young. But her death wasn't sudden and accidental. It was the result of gradual poisoning caused by a food system that hides poison in food, normalizing ultra-processed foods, sugar, and industry interests over health. Dr. Carlos Jaramillo, a functional medicine physician and popular science communicator with over 10 million followers, guides us through this profound and moving investigation to answer the key question: Who killed Sofia? In the process, he exposes how thousands of lives are at risk today, victims of a food, health, and economic model that prioritizes profit over life.

"WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO SACRIFICE?!!!!" "EVERYTHING!!!!!" This is but one of a multitude of highly emphatic questions, and subsequent answers, being asked in the newest feature film from one of the current masters of horror, Jordan Peele ("Get Out", "Us" and "Nope"). I must give Peele credit in that he continues to push the boundaries of specific genres and their associated tropes in order to provide what ends up amounting to subtly then jarringly intense, yet still character and story-driven, cinema that speaks more to indie stylings than mainstream.
A masterful portrayal of a long-forgotten story that needs to be told.
