Our Origins

THAT SUGAR FILM started as one man’s journey to discover the bitter truth about sugar. Australian actor/director, Damon Gameau embarked on a unique experiment to document the effects of a high sugar diet on a healthy body, consuming only foods that are commonly perceived, or promoted to be, healthy.

Over three years of development and production, Damon and his crew travelled the world to interview experts at the forefront of researching the impact of current levels of sugar consumption.

The response confirmed what Damon suspected: people did not know the amount of added sugar hiding in their food and supermarket shelves. Since the film’s release in 2015, the message has resonated globally. That Sugar Film is now the highest grossing Australian cinema documentary of all time, and has had major releases across New Zealand, the UK, Canada, South Africa, the United States, Europe, Asia and the America’s.

This journey has taken Damon to address the UK and New Zealand Parliaments, meet with leading athletes such as the LA Lakers, screen for the Royal College of Medicine in London and appear on TV shows across the BBC, The Today show and Dr Oz in the US.

“Almost 60% of individuals were motivated to reduce their added sugar intake after watching That Sugar Film – following doctors orders motivated just 2%.”
