The story

What Is The Human Bean About?

The premise of The Human Bean without spoilers.

Inspired by a scene from John Steinbeck’s Tortilla Flat, this documentary follows Beau as he embarks on an unusual experiment. He consumes only the contents of 191 tins of beans over 40 days, transforming himself into "The Human Bean." Through this extreme diet, Beau explores how a single food source can profoundly impact his physical and emotional state. He compares his training for an ultramarathon before and during the experiment, documenting his journey of self-discovery and the unexpected insights gained from a remarkably simple, yet challenging, routine.
