Supercharge Me! 30 Days Raw (2007) is a feature length documentary film about the raw foods diet, made by Jenna Norwood, an independent filmmaker. In the film, inspired by Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me, Jenna ate only raw foods - i.e. uncooked fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds - for thirty days, to document the effect it would have on her health. The movie features interviews with noted raw veganDavid Wolfe, as well as others who follow the diet, including celebrities Ben Vereen and Kathy Sledge.
The film follows Jenna Norwood as she realizes her lack of healthy eating and enrolls in a thirty day raw food detox program in San Diego. She also spoke to doctors, experts, celebrities and others who follow the raw food lifestyle. In the end she returns to where the film began in Florida with Jenna trying to fit into a showgirl outfit.
