Documentaries have the power to wake you up and shake up the world as you know it! I love when people passionately come together to share their views with the world. This is a list of documentaries, that if you let them, will change your life!
- Blackfish-
The documentary Blackfish has nothing to do with being vegan or veganism, but it was the first documentary that I watched that made me think differently about animals in captivity. This documentary made me question(although I didn’t make any changes) my participation in paying for animals to be held in captivity. Blackfish is available for purchase online and available on Netflix. - Forks Over Knives – Forks over knives was the first documentary that I watched after making the dietary shift towards veganism. This documentary focuses on the benefits of a Whole Food Plant Based Diet. I highly recommend this documentary if you would like to learn more about the benefits of a Whole Food Plant Based Diet! Forks Over Knives is available online for purchase and is also available on Netflix.
- Vegucated I love this documentary because it follows 3 different meat and cheese loving people who agree to adopt a plant based diet for six weeks. While you are following along their journey, you get a personal account of the changes they go through in such a short time!
- Cowspiracy Now more than ever, we need to be thinking about how the choices we make everyday affect the future generations of planet earth. Cowspiracy goes into great detail about the devastating effects that animal agriculture is having on our environment. Cowspiracy is available for purchase online and also available on Netflix.
- What The Health
This is a followup to the groundbreaking film Cowspiracy. In What the Heath, Kip Anderson uncovers the secret to preventing and even reversing chronic diseases. With the help of doctors and researchers What the Heath exposes the corruption in government and big business that is costing us trillions of dollars in healthcare and keeping us sick. What the Health is available for purchase online and also available on Netflix. - The Cove
Although I watched this documentary many years ago, I will never forget the way it made me feel. This documentary follows activist and film makers as they embark on a covert mission to expose a dark secret in a hidden cove in Taiji, Japan. This film is available online at http://www.thecovemovie.com/.
I’m sure as I watch more documentaries, I will add more to this list!
