[edit] Movies
- Raw for 30 Days (2008) -- Raw For 30 Days documents a retreat with supervised raw vegan diet. The lifestyle promotes a rapid transformation of the participants. The film explores the psychological difficulty of a dietary change. The struggle pays off as the participants gain vitality, lose weight, fight addiction, and reduce the severity of junk-food induced diabetes. Raw for 30 days features interviews with actor and activist Woody Harrelson, and nutritional gurus Gabriel Cousins and David Wolfe. The film demonstrates the adoption of plant-based diet as powerful preventative medicine against a host of modern diseases.
- The Vanishing of the Bees (2008) -- The Vanishing of the Bees (2008) by Maryam Henein documents the disruption and devastation of bee life. Manipulation of the bee's natural state has lead to massive depopulation which will greatly affect the pollination of crops and ultimately all life forms. Bee product harvesting results in ripped wings, legs, and bee fragments in the final product. The informed decision to avoid bee products is espoused by people who care about this tragedy and recognize the theft of honey and mutilation of bees' physical integrity and habitat as inherently cruel.
- The 11th Hour (2007) -- Leonardo DiCaprio's movie on global warming, deforestation, mass species extinction, and depletion of the oceans' habitats, declares the future of humanity is in jeopardy unless we change our attitudes toward all life surrounding us.
- Earthlings (2006) -- An eerie documentary narrated by Joaquin Phoenix detailing abuses of animals and the larger philosophical issues regarding speciesism.
- An Inconvenient Truth (2006) -- Conveniently, it seems, An Inconvenient Truth omits the main contributor to global warming -- one easily tackled by eliminating the consumption of meat -- the cattle industry.
- Fast Food Nation (2006) -- You are what you eat. But do you really know what you’re eating? There's not only hormones, antibiotics, and manmade flavors in the fast food you eat, there is manure in your burger.
- Go Further (2003) -- A film chronicling a road trip with Woody Harrelson in a hemp-fueled bus. A raw vegan chef nourishes the crew while Woody explains ecological, organic, and plant-based living.
- Soylent Green (1973) -- In this movie, human remains are turned into human food, bearing a striking resemblance to the very real rendering industry that puts euthanized pets, road kill, and anything left from slaughtered animals that is deemed not fit for human consumption into human food, toothpaste and chewing gum.
