Yam

There’s nothing special about Pamela Plagely: her husband doesn’t understand her, her son is doing time for dealing skunk and her doctor wants to fill her up with chemicals. But she’s not having any of it. With a little cross-cultural communication Pamela discovers the remarkable medicinal properties of yam and begins to take an interest in promoting her own well-being. But Pamlela’s alternative health choices attract unexpected attention. Events sweep her out of her predictable daily routine and into public view, where the media machine is waiting… “A funny little Ealing-style comedy” Allan Sutherland – Disability Now “A wonderful film and the visual score is beautiful” David Mitchell – Brace Yourselves Productions “Amusing and definitely very strange, “Yam” could very well lead people into flushing their meds down the toilet in order to take up more organic remedies for what ails them.” Eric Campos – Film Threat “A comedy about vegetables, the menopause and the absurdity of the legal system: a timely parable for our nanny state.” Save Our Supplements “Creative approach to drug problems.” Picture This
