Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The root cause project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation that aims to accelerate the health and wellness paradigm shift through documentary storytelling. We believe that stories have the power to connect and inspire. Each film celebrates the journeys of patients and their practitioners as they discover new remedies for chronic illnesses and optimize health using functional/integrated medicine. Our hope is that viewers will draw inspiration, information, and guidance from these powerful narratives of human transformation, providing new hope and vision to those seeking a better approach.
