I recently watched 2 (dare I call them) #vegan films, even if not advertised as such:
1st: What The Health
2nd: Cowspiracy
Both directed by Kip Andersen, and both streaming on Netflix but also available to buy from their official website. They are rated decently on #imdb but theres not much critic reviews on #RottenTomatoes.
I thoroughly liked both of them (naturally that comes with my bias - #vegans can relate!). I believe people have criticized them for inaccuracies though I think that applies to only a few stats or facts cited.
I am not sure how I feel about the "trying to get an interview and got declined/didn't answer my questions" style of documenting, but I guess it ads to the dramatic effect. In particular, I wonder what was going on with the whole #Greenpeace thing? I wonder if he ever got to speak with them?
I would love to see a modern reviewing of them, especially Cowspiracy as it is going on to nearly 10 years old. How have the numbers changed since then? For e.g., do cows need less or more water? What The Health (about 6 years old) would also be interesting in that regard as there would be lots of scientific articles published since then commenting on the many benefits of a #wfpb style of diet.
My next viewing will be (you guessed it) Seaspiracy, and then I am keen to see many more such films. Keen to hear additional recommendations.
