I don't normally write reviews but I was so moved by the transformative power of this film I felt I needed to share. For many years, my family and friends have always made fun of me for not consuming animal products, I've tried explaining why its important and I've shown them every vegan documentary I can from Cowspiracy to What The Health but they always just laugh and say its vegan agenda trash.
I finally managed to persuade my whole family and 6 of my friends to come to the theatre to watch the film (I had to buy the tickets myself lol). After the film had finished, to my great suprise, all of them - including my dad - who hates vegans - said they simply couldn't argue with the film and said that it had made such a powerful case that they all were going to make a change in their diet. 6 days later and my dad is now almost completely vegan and says he feels great, my mum is cooking almost completely vegan meals 3 times a day for us all, and my friends keep sending me photos of all their veggie food they are eating and genuinly seem proud to be making a change. It's like the film has a magical seret spell in it making people change their diets.
It is incredibly well made and has just the right amount of emotions, story telling and facts mixed together in the perfect balance. It's mature and cinematic and not preachy at all and I think that is what really made a big difference compared with other vegan films I've shown to others before.
All I can say is that I wish this film had existed years ago, if you have stubborn friends and family that are not open to moving away from animal products then this film is a must watch.
