“The Kitchenistas Of National City” follows the struggles and transformations of the Kitchenistas as they conquer a health crisis in their community by cooking traditional dishes in a healthy way.

They learn by doing and share what they've learned with their families and community. By changing eating habits, they are reversing disease trends.
