In the documentary 'Apple Cider Vinegar', director Sofie Benoot embarks on a fascinating journey that delves into the mysterious relationship between our bodies and the earth. The film begins with Benoot's own personal experience, having just undergone surgery to remove a kidney stone. This seemingly ordinary event sets off a whimsical exploration of geology, as she assigns her off-screen alter ego to ponder the enigmatic connection between human bodies and stones.
Narrating her documentary is none other than esteemed actress Siân Phillips, whose elegant and humorous voice serves as the perfect starting point for this introspective essay. With Phillips' Welsh voice at the helm, Benoot weaves a narrative that takes viewers on a global journey to understand the intricate world of geology and its relevance to our own lives.
Benoot's quest begins with her own kidney stone, which she curiously notes was once polished by an Antarctic glacier - a testament to the vast geological forces that shape our bodies. As the story unfolds, we find Benoot engaging in conversations with experts from various fields, including ecologists, geologists, and forensic specialists. Her journey takes her to remote islands like Fogo in Cape Verde and even the Palestinian territories, as she delves into the fascinating world of stonemasonry.
Throughout her investigation, Benoot explores the concept of geological time, revealing how stones hold secrets to our shared human history and potentially even our future. This documentary is more than just an exploration of geology; it's a thought-provoking journey that challenges viewers to consider their connection to the earth.
One aspect of the film that stands out is its intriguing potential for further development into a crime drama, as highlighted by Professor Lorna Dawson's expertise in forensic soil analysis. With Benoot's captivating storytelling and Phillips' enchanting voice, 'Apple Cider Vinegar' promises to be an unforgettable documentary experience that will leave viewers enchanted and inspired by the intricate web of life on earth.

Sofie Benoot's curiosity is everything and Siân Phillips' voice is pure perfection 
I love how the film takes you on a journey from the tiny stone to the vastness of our planet 
it's like, we're all connected, right? 
The way Benoot explores geology and its relevance to human life is so inspiring 
and that potential crime drama twist? 
mind. blown.
. And Siân Phillips' voiceover is nice, but let's not forget that geology is all about context and perspective 
.
. And Professor Lorna Dawson's expertise is super relevant to this topic... I mean, who wouldn't want to watch a crime drama based on soil analysis? 
But seriously, this documentary has some great ideas for further development, and it's definitely worth checking out - just don't expect me to be surprised by the basics of geology 
.
. Benoot's doc is still pretty interesting, but I think she's stretching it a bit in her conclusions 
. Still, I'll give her props for creating an engaging and thought-provoking film that makes you wanna learn more about geology 
.
does anyone know if that's a thing people can get again? and what's the deal with stonemasonry on remote islands? is it like a ancient art or something? 
I need more info on this! 
Also, how come the film has a crime drama vibe if that's not explicitly stated anywhere? Where are the sources for this supposed connection to forensic soil analysis? 
. And Siân Phillips' voice is seriously iconic, I mean who knew she had such depth and humor? 
! The way she weaves together personal anecdotes, expert insights, and global explorations is pure magic. And Siân Phillips' voice? Iconic 
! I'm already imagining how this docu would translate into an immersive VR experience... just imagine being transported to those remote islands and witnessing the geology firsthand.
. and i'm definitely intrigued by the crime drama potential 
... all in all, this doc is a must-watch for anyone curious about geology, science, or just life in general 
that's just so smooth and soothing. I love how the docu takes us on this global journey to understand geology and its relevance to our lives. It's not just about stones, it's about the secrets they hold about our human history and future! 
Mind blown!
. I mean, what's so interesting about stones, anyway? They're just rocks. And Siân Phillips' voice is cool and all, but it's not gonna change the fact that this documentary is probably trying too hard to be profound 
And Siân Phillips' voice is like butter for your soul - it's that soothing and elegant. 
The way the doco takes you to these remote places like Fogo in Cape Verde and Palestine, I felt like I was there too!
