Press Reviews
“A Delicate Balance goes further than Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth by saying the only hope for the planet is if people give up meat and dairy.”
Phil Kafcaloudes - Breakfast Club ABC RADIO“Worldwide, intensive or 'factory' farming arguably causes the most suffering to the largest number of animals. A Delicate Balance is a fascinating film that will encourage viewers to re-think their food choices and opt for a cruelty-free lifestyle to the benefit, not only of billions of farm animals, but of their personal health and the environment”.
Ondine Sherman - Co-founder and Director of Voiceless“My first reaction to this documentary is that I wanted everyone I know to see it. Backed by scientific data, and eminent world authorities, this crucial message is very convincing. The camera work is brilliant. It is wonderful to see so many people determined to save the planet.”
Maria Armstrong - Former Art Editor, Sunday Mail SA“This is a remarkable film and should be compulsory viewing for every human being. It gives us hope. Solutions to global warming and the health crisis are within our reach. This is a must for anyone who cares for the survival of the planet, our fellow human beings, animals (great and small) and their own health”.
Philip Wollen, Order of Australia medal recipient 2007“A Delicate Balance”, startling new documentary by an Australian film-maker, Aaron Scheibner continues from where Al Gore left off.
This film dispels the myths you have been lead to believe about your health, your environment and your world. Nominated for Best Unreleased Documentary by the Australian Film Critics Association this film is a must-see for everyone who cares about their health, their loved ones and their home.
We only have one home ... If we continue to destroy it, we have nowhere else to go ..! What if you knew that the very foods which are being touted as promoting health, are in fact, damaging your bones and giving you cancer? Knowing the Truth ... is Power.
Public Reviews
“My unprompted reaction was that this is a real wake-up call and I admit to some changes in dietary practices as a direct response to the film.”
John Stanley Adjunct Professor, Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies, University of Sydney.“And the meek shall inherit the earth"...and Aaron Scheibner's film 'A Delicate Balance' shows us why and how”
Tony Barry, Actor/Activist/Teacher“In the 4 months I have followed my dietary-change-based regimen, my PSA has decreased from 8.2 in June, to 6.9 in October, and to 6.1 in November. An added bonus is that my cholesterol and triglycerides levels have also come down. My outlook is promising.
Adjusting to the dietary changes has not been a hardship, and any possible regrets about missing out on an Aussie barbecue lunch or a dish of Bulla Creamy Classics ice cream are now a thing-of-the-past. The film clearly showed me graphically the good health reasons for making the changes and brought to my attention the (additional) global environmental implications if major changes are not made on the food supply side, which are complementary to the human personal-health side.”
This person wants to remain anonymous. he is a viewer of the film from qld.“I actually watched the film at some one's place on Saturday night and was so impressed by it I want to get it to show my husband. I really believe it will change the eating habits of my entire family.<”
Joy Mackey“I actually watched the film at some one's place on Saturday night and was so impressed by it I want to get it to show my husband. I really believe it will change the eating habits of my entire family.”
Joy Mackey“This is the documentary that you and your family MUST see! This brilliant documentary will teach you 1) Exactly what food to stop eating to prevent illness and disease within your family 2) What food to eat to attain great health.
But this documentary doesn't just stop there, as well as helping you with your eating habits and health, it will also teach you how you can positively impact climate change, just by changing your eating habits. Again, making it a MUST see! This is the documentary that has the facts the media giants are just not focusing on passing on. Watch it yourself and pass it on to ALL of your friends. Brilliant!”
Anthony Aurelius - UK's No.1 Fitness Expert and Founder of Choi-Bo and Dynamic Choi Kwon Do“Looking forward to the future, having no guilt about the past and to endeavour to be centred and to meditate for peace and health. I always believe health is foremost - if we have our health we can do everything within our reach - if we do not have health all the diamonds in the world are of no importance.”
Rozalind Gray“Anyone interested in health should see this. Anyone who is not interested in health NEEDS to see this.”
Jenny Storaker“As a lifelong omnivore, it certainly gave me a lot to think about. You can't watch and not reconsider ordering a hamburger or passing up a glass of milk and opting for water instead. It is a powerful film with a purpose, but it never loses firm footing in factual, scientific evidence to deliver its message. Not just a good film, but a very important film.”
Jason Sly“After working on Aaron's website and watching a delicate balance - which I found disturbingly powerful - I decided to become a vegan. This is perhaps the single most selfless thing I can do for the planet. I had been selfish and unthinking for too long, many have, it's time to change.”
Jan Summers“Aaron Scheibner's A Delicate Balance takes a brave, bold look at something complex that we too often simply take for granted: what's on our tables, in our lunchboxes and in our bodies. Now more than ever, we need to better understand the inherent link between the health of our environment, and the health of ourselves and our communities.”
Sarah Hanson-Young, Greens Senator for South Australia“This documentary shows the power people have at the end of the knives, forks and chopsticks to ameliorate global warming, enrich our environment and extend compassion to all species. A Delicate Balance accessibly challenges the misguided trust people place in the medical profession and animal agriculture propaganda. It is a great film and it must be seen by the widest possible audience.”
Lynda Stoner - Australian Actress and Animal Rights ActivistLike An Inconvenient Truth this film exposes a real irony for the human race. In our quest to enhance our lives our greed for profits, lower prices and an ambivalence towards torturing animals for food, we have facilitated a plague-like karmic revenge.
A Delicate Balance reveals we have tipped the scales in favour of our own annihilation. The factory farming industry, the professional murderer, has become the ultimate terminator. It's killing the planet and it's killing us.
I believe the human race has 2 choices; 1) Act quickly on the information revealed in A Delicate Balance or 2) Suffer a slow and painful death in a new global human factory farm of ill health and disease.
Tony Bishop-Weston Foods for Life"Anyone interested in health should see this. Anyone who is not interested in health NEEDS to see this.”
Jenny Storaker“This film is so powerful and is already affecting people in a profoundly positive way. People coming out of the premiere tonight said it was life changing and extremely thought provoking. This film is totally awesome and a must see for everyone wishing to live to their full potential as human beings.”
Kathy Divine“Wow.... That just gave me goose bumps..... I can't wait for it to come out...”
Michel Fortier“awesome!!! more and more of these films need to come out..I think that were really are all crying out for this type of film. I no longer am entertained by violence and sex..i want to be educated and make changes..i am one but i can do much..if we all think this way we can turn things around..it has to start somewhere..Let it be with you!! Peace and Love”
Lori Acton“I too got goose bumps just from the preview! This is obviously a film that needs to be revealed to all humans on this planet. All other sentient beings know full well there is a Delicate Balance because they are loosing.
I agree we need solutions, not just the message but I meet so many folks that still don't want to hear that message. This might just be powerful enough to turn more heads and stimulate more thinking towards solutions.”
Cheri Ezell“Since seeing A Delicate Balance-The Truth, I have changed my diet and have noticed a significant improvement in my digestion. As a lupus sufferer, I now realise since watching this film that in the long run my health will be better off if I eat a vegan diet. The parts of the film that interested me and really had a powerful effect on my decision to change my diet, was the information about how the immune system is effected by our food choices. The section on dairy foods and how they can negatively affect health was also interesting, as this is something that has not been widely talked about in the general media. In general, since watching the film I have gained more awareness about food and their effects on human health.”
J.Doyle, NSW, Australia“A weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I've been vegan since I saw the movie, and I feel much better and healthier for it. I was a complete cheese addict and the movie changed my mind.”
Zara Pamboukhtchian“A Delicate Balance is a must see for every Australian. It asks us to be honest with ourselves, to be brave, and to be the change we wish to see in the world. This documentary moved me and my husband to become practising vegans immediately!”
