Eat the Sun

Is it possible to stare directly into the sun and not eat food? EAT THE SUN is a feature length documentary that focuses on a young man's journey into the little known world of sungazing -- an ancient practice of looking directly at the sun for long periods of time.

From the Incas and Aztecs to the Greeks and Egyptians, this practice was exclusive to only the high priests and forbidden to "ordinary people". Today, with the help of the Internet, this revived practice is gathering global momentum. Modern day Sungazers claim a multitude of health benefits including better eyesight, enhanced vitality, weight loss, and in some more profound cases, a complete loss of desire to eat food.

The main theory of how this is possible focuses on the stimulation of the pineal gland from direct sunlight entering the brain via the eye. EAT THE SUN is the story of one man's struggle to uncover the truth and, ultimately, reveal the power of the mind.
