Saffron Cassaday is at her wit's end after suffering from ulcerative colitis for nearly a decade. She decides to try a promising new treatment known as Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) -- the act of taking stool from a healthy donor and implanting it into the gut of a sick patient. From convincing her partner to be her donor (Who says chivalry is dead?), to turning their apartment into a makeshift production facility for what some are calling "brown gold," Saffron spares no details in her quest to uncover what some experts believe could be the biggest medical breakthrough of the 21st century.

Cassaday is excellent as both the director and subject of this light-hearted but informative documentary about one woman’s search for a treatment for an obnoxious, painful, difficult-to-manage chronic condition. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Tal S @CuriosiT 12/09/2023 This film is super-informative... and quite surprising. Gastrointestinal issues are no joke, and, if there are unconventional yet innovative and powerful ways of dealing with them, I really hope the research continues and that treatments start becoming more common. I had heard a bit about the concept before, but this film really discusses it in an approachable way. I highly recommend watching this film. The concept might at first seem a little strange... but, in the end, it actually makes a lot of sense! See more Read all reviews
