Nick Polizzi

Nick Polizzi has spent his career directing feature length documentaries about holistic alternatives to conventional medicine. His films all share one common thread: they each put promising natural medicines to the test on daring patients, who are suffering from real illnesses.

His documentaries aren’t theoretical or preachy, they’re as real as it gets. Viewers are given a bird’s-eye view of what it takes for someone to truly heal themselves – the good, the bad, and everything in between.

Nick’s current role as director of the hit film “The Sacred Science” stems from a calling to honor, preserve, and protect the ancient knowledge and rituals of the indigenous peoples of the world.

This is by far his most daring project to date.
