Utah Filmmakers Offer Advice for State Department of Health’s Recent Obesity Funding


New Documentary on Obesity Gives Crucial Insight on how the Department Can Maximize the Federal Dollars for Better Health in Utah


Salt Lake City, UT- “Killer at Large” obesity documentary filmmakers is teaming up with Wasatch Community Gardens to provide a platform for highlighting some of the issues raised in the film — the same issues behind $2-million in funding for the Utah Department of Health’s fight against obesity.  The screening will also WSG’s non-profit education programs, which work to correct some of those issues in our community. The fundraiser screening will be held July 9 at 6:30pm at The Tower inSalt Lake City.Directed by Steven Greenstreet, “Killer at Large” examines the startling details of the American obesity epidemic and why this issue has crossed from a public health crisis to a national security issue.  When asked in the film what the most pressing issue facing America today, former Surgeon General Richard Carmona responds, “Obesity.  Because obesity is a terror within.  It is destroying our society from within and unless we do something about it, the magnitude of the dilemma will dwarf 9/11 or any other terrorist event you can point out.  Where will our soldiers, sailors, and airmen come from?  Where will our police and firemen come from if the youngsters today are on a trajectory that says they will be obese?”

“‘Killer at Large’ confronts the facts and details of what is happening in our society,” said Heather Haley with WasatchCommunity Gardens . “WCG believes the health risks of obesity, physically and mentally, depicted in the film, can be curbed by education, better food policies in schools, and opportunities for youth and adults to have access to fresh local produce through gardens of their own or from farmers at the market. We are excited for ‘A Killer at Large’ to be seen by the community as it is never too late to become educated with the facts and take action. It is a must see for anyone interested in the health of our nation.”

While the issue of obesity has simmered to the forefront of the mainstream media’s attention, “Killer at Large” moves far beyond individual struggles and extreme diets to deeply dissect this epic struggle.  With many experts in the field of childhood obesity declaring this may be the first generation of children to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents, “Killer at Large” provides a sobering perspective on the most pressing health issue of our time.  It also serves as a call to arms for concerned parents, school districts, employers, and entire communities who have empowered themselves to take a stand and reverse this deadly trend – which is poised to cripple our nation’s health care system and bankrupt our economy within the next 20 years.

Sadly, the solutions that have been coming from the government and the industries who share culpability in this problem range from the absurd (industry should regulate itself) to the obvious (consumers should simply be exercising more.)  “Killer at Large” details why this approach not only doesn’t help, but is actually making the problem worse.

“The importance of community gardening and teaching kids and communities about where our food comes from is one of the best things we can do immediately to help address the epidemic of obesity,” Greenstreet said.  “What better way to premiere our movie in our hometown, than to support the people in the area who are actually doing something about the problem?”

Since 1989, Wasatch Community Gardens ’ mission has been to help people grow and share fresh produce, teach urban youth responsibility, cooperation, and ecological awareness, and to be an active resource for sustainable organic gardening. WCG operates four gardens, including the most well known, the Grateful Tomato Garden , at 769 S. 600 E. It also offers gardening education, events, and an extensive youth program to enable and encourage gardening.

The local “Killer at Large” premiere is July 9th at 6:30 at the Tower Theater.  Proceeds from the screening will be donated to the Wasatch Community Garden . A question and answer session with the filmmakers will follow the feature presentation.

“Killer at Large” features interviews and footage of notable experts and celebrities speaking on the topic of the American obesity epidemic including Former President Bill Clinton, Former Surgeon General Richard Carmona, Ralph Nader, Dr. Kelly Brownell, Dr. Marion Nestle, and bestselling authors Michael Pollan and Chef Ann Cooper, among many others.

In June, “Killer at Large” won two major awards from annual film festivals.  “Killer at Large” took the Silver Medal Best Documentary Award at the prestigious International Filmmaker Festival in the UK and that same week earned the Best Political Documentary prize at the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival. The first week in July, the film also received an award from the Indie Gathering Film Festival and will be showing at the festival in Cleveland, OH in August.
