Ali Allouche spent his junior year of high school in chemotherapy. Tired of hospital food, Ali and his mom, Lt. Col. Jen Danko, became obsessed with food shows and documentaries. Inspired by Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown, Ali and Jen plotted a map of restaurants across the United States that they would visit when Ali was medically cleared.

To make their dream a reality, Jen launched a successful GoFundMe campaign—once Ali completed chemo, they were ready to eat and see the world. From pit masters to pizzerias, bed-and-breakfasts to greasy spoons, the Grand Canyon to New York City. Ali was welcomed by the best restaurants and chefs from across the country, including José Andrés and Wolfgang Puck.

One of the most heartfelt and inspiring movies you’ll see all year, ALI EATS AMERICA is a tearful—and funny—crowd-pleaser about living with, and beyond, a cancer diagnosis.
