Archangel Ali
Synopsis
This film documents the transformative detox journey of Ali Reza, a young man who grew up in Shepherd’s Bush, London. Ali started bodybuilding at the age of 14, graduated from University and went on to start working for Goldman Sachs. A few years later, Ali could no longer ignore his worsening mental health. He decided to look in the mirror and make a radical decision. Following studies into his idol Michael Jackson and on discovering some key YouTube influencers, Ali stopped everything he was doing to become a full-time Fruitarian. Shot across London, Indonesian islands and the equatorial rainforests of Borneo, Ali’s search for tree-ripe fruit is abundant but what else does he encounter along the way? ARCHANGEL ALI is the story of a generation seeking health and harmony in the face of a complex and challenging world.
