The best of "New Age" documentaries
pingnick16 May 2001
Juliette grew up in England and was formally educated as a veterinarian. Unfortunately, she discovered that her training didn't teach her how to cure animals of many ailments she encountered. So, she rekindled her semitic and nomadic ancestry and travelled the mediterranean and later the world learning from others how to care for herself, her family and the animals of the world.

She wrote books about her herbal treatments (rosemary is her favorite) for ailments which western allopathic veterinary science didn't cure. The movie becomes an inspiring story about what you can do with your life but also propaganda for leading a vegetarian and simple existence. The thing that bothered me most was the narration which biased me against Juliette (because it was automatically preachy and aggrandizing) until she could speak for herself.

Well, if you are looking for an inspiring documentary you don't have to look further!
