Punk rock vegan movie shows the history of some of the vegan punk rock bands and their challenges of trying to find appealing food in the 80s. It seems that they managed to eat whole food plant based foods, except the ones who ate white bread. I don't really get the point of making it seem like it was a hard thing to do or stating it like they sacrificed something, but I suppose the ones who would listen to this music like the air of feeling cool and having a feeling of a cool story behind everything they do.
The concept of straight edge is really cool- no alcohol, no drugs. Combined with veganism it's even cooler. It is amazing that a subculture with so much controversial activism, political ideas actually had so many wholesome and liberating messages- the yin yang of trying to get a peaceful message out there is that sometimes you have to be loud about it. It is great that these people found a place for themselves in the entertainment industry which can lead to a big impact for the animals. Fans of these bands seem to have gone vegan simply because these bands made it seem very cool.
Lots of these stars or at least the ones in the movie are quite aged now so it is not the most exciting or punk movie anymore, but the older audiences might like the nostalgia of it and it is a nice pat on the back to all the vegans who support or are part of the punk rock scene. It would have been cool to see newer voices of the scene if there are any, there was one singer who started out an activist in the movie who was young. The cold cave people also seemed young, but there wasn't much focus on them and their voices.
Other than that this must have been a passion project and not that serious on getting the most quality footage or anything and that is commendable. This was made to be consumed completely for free. There isn't much to complain about and it focuses on the ethics at the end. Think for yourself and make the choices that make you live your most fulfilling life regardless of what the outside thinks.
