Have you, or someone that you know, been curious about pursuing a vegan lifestyle? If so, that’s great!

From companies like Beyond Meat, whose products are now being served at national and regional chains like TGI Friday’s, Dunkin’, Carl’s Jr and others, to independent restaurants implementing separate vegan menus for patrons, to the fact that there are at least ten different kinds of non-dairy milk options out there (almond milk, rice milk, hemp milk, soy milk, etc.!) to choose from, there truly has never been a better, or easier, time to go vegan than right now!

“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.

The second best time is now.” – Chinese Proverb

Here are some great documentary films on veganism, animal rights, plant based food’s connection to health, the negative effects of factory farming, and many other aspects of veganism. Enjoy!

Forks Over Knives – Advocating for a plant-based, low-fat, whole foods diet, the researchers in Forks Over Knives explain how changing the way you eat can reverse most degenerative diseases, if not evade them all together.

The Game Changers – Featuring athletes like strongman Patrik Baboumian and former professional bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger, The Game Changers focuses on how plant-based diets are optimal for nutrition, post-exercise recovery and, discussed in one section for perhaps a bit longer than warranted, male erectile strength and frequency.

Cowspiracy – Shedding light on sustainability secrets, Cowspiracy looks into the problems with factory farming, specifically cattle farming, and inquires what leading environmental groups, like Greenpeace and the Sierra Club, are doing about it.

What The Health – Through interviews with physicians regarding diet, chronic disease and health, and unsatisfactory contact with various health organizations, What The Health aims to convince viewers that a vegan lifestyle is the way to go and have them question the ties between the pharmacy, food and government sectors.

Okja – While NOT a documentary, Okja does convey messages that many vegan documentaries touch upon. From corporate greed, to animal rights, this Bong Joon-ho film packs plenty when it comes to social commentary, but not in an overly preachy way.

Please note: This post was created simply to inform others about what documentaries are currently available to watch on Netflix (as of 4/13/2020) that discuss the topic of veganism. We do not stand for or against any of these documentaries/films or the claims that they make. Thank you!
