Films That Will Make You Vegan

Purple Star emoji 22 items
Veganism is not a diet, but a boycott of cruelty and violence. Here are all the films I've seen that took me from animal eater to vegan and where to find them. Only watch if you're prepared to change.

Earthlings

I watched this film as an ovo vegetarian meaning I was still eating eggs but not eating any other animal products. I was probably not super diligent with using vegan household products either. I definitely still had a pair of leather boots. This film...

Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret

Watched this one as an ovo vegetarian as well. This is the one that got my husband to stop eating animals and animal products and stopped us from butting heads about the issue ;)

This one is less to do with animal cruelty (though that is shown a bit) and more to do with how much animal agriculture impacts the environment. This film changed my husband's perspective on his contribution to climate change since he considered hims...

The Gamechangers

I think this film is very true to it's name. Propaganda from Big Ag has us believing we need tons of protein, and the only place to get it is from animal flesh, otherwise we'll be weak and frail and die. This film shows that narrative could not be fu...

Even though I was vegan already by the time this film came out, I learned A LOT more about protein and it gave me more info in my arsenal to combat misinformation about a plant based diet.

The End of the Line: The Destruction of our Seas

This is probably the first documentary that I watched that made me think differently about how I eat. I was pescatarian at the time, so no land animal flesh, but fish, dairy and eggs. I had read some things that got me to pescatarian, but I had never...

The Animal People

This film takes you into the horrific and cruel world of vivisection (aka animal testing) and the people who fight to stop it.

Christspiracy: The Spirituality Secret

I'm not religious at all. In fact it was veganism that pushed me from agnostic to atheist. That being said this film is definitely intriguing especially for someone who grew up catholic. I always say all athiests should be vegan, but this film

So I don't know if you can watch this on their website or not. These are the same producers that brought you Cowspiracy and What the Health, but they opted not to do a deal with Netflix this time. Maybe sign up for the mailing list to see when and wh...

Dominion

Again, already vegan when I saw a screening of this in the movie theater. The filmmakers were able to place hidden cameras in the facilities so you get to see inside these horror factories in a way we never have been able to before. I warn you that t...

Whichever way you watch, just don't look away. Bear witness to the cruelty that 99% of the population contributes to.

What the Health

Though I was already vegan, this film opened my eyes to how much Big Pharma and Big Ag are connected and work together.

I knew I didn't want to be imprisoned by the medical system and have my life revolve around doctor visits and prescription refills. This film solidified my choice to eat plant based.

Scripted Films

Fictional films that, if they have done their job right, might also make you think…and feel something.

 
Kiirstin Marilyn profile picture
I bawled my eyes out for about 20 minutes after this film was over. It's fictional, but it made me think about all the animals for whom this is a reality.

I didn't watch this until I was an adult and already vegan. Highly recommend this one, I do not recommend Babe 2. ;)
