All The Rage. by Beilinson, David,film director.; Galinsky, Michael,film director.; Hawley, Suki,film director.; Weil, Andrew,actor.; E. Sarno, John,actor.; Sarno, Martha,actor.; Rumur Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Andrew Weil, John E. Sarno, Martha SarnoOriginally produced by Rumur Films in 2017.Dr. John Sarno’s bestselling book “Healing Back Pain” was first published in the 1980’s, and when co-director Michael Galinsky’s father read it he was cured of chronic whiplash. The book – which connects pain with emotions rather than structural causes – put Sarno at blunt odds with the medical system, which shunned his unorthodox approach. This artful and personal film braids Galinsky’s universal story of pain and emotion together with the story of Dr. Sarno’s work, connecting the audience to both the issues and the emotions at play. Featuring interviews with Howard Stern, Larry David, reporter John Stossel, Dr. Andrew Weil, Senators Bernie Sanders and Tom Harkin, and other luminaries, ALL THE RAGE offers a profound rethink of our health care.
