Sugar Blog is a personal historical-industrial documentary about our addiction to sugar and sweet life. The director, who was diagnosed with pregnancy diabetes, investigates the fatal effect of a century of sugar consumption on the individual and society. She realises how difficult it is to give up this addictive drug and how it is almost impossible to find any food without sugar. She uncovers strong links between mental and behavioural disorders and excessive consumption of sugar and learns about its influence on human thinking and culture in general. And she notes it down in her sugar blog.
