Probably one of the best vegan documentaries I have seen so far, so well explained.
I have been using the couch tuner website for years now so I can watch some American tv shows for free.
I tried to watch the original Halloween film from 1978 on Halloween evening on another website but like many other websites streaming free movies/tv shows the sites I tried have all been closed down for ‘legal’ reasons.
Couch tuner has come under fire in the past quite a few times but keeps coming back and I shouldn’t think it would be the last either.
As I have said before, it is all about money and I don’t think we should be paying out for so much.

Hi Matt, I've mixed feelings about this because it is a documentary film promoting a vegan diet for athletes with some unsubstantiated claims about red meat causing cancer and the evils of dairy.
So provocative and entertaining it may be but we have to be aware that the directors of the film are the founders of Verdiant Foods which's an organic pea protein company who have ambitions to be the leading N American producer of pea protein...
The way I see it, it is a vegan documentary but not exactly for athletes.
Athletes feature in the documentary but this does not mean the vegan diet is strictly for athletes only.
There is a lot of information about meats/red meats and dairy causing cancer and you will also find lots of info going against that. That is what I call lobbying.
A lot of truth is covered up with rubbish.
I can believe in the like of Game Changers and other documentaries like this cos I have bettered my diet from what it was and feel loads better for it too.
What The Health is another good documentary that explains meats and dairy being bad for the health.
Thank you kindly for finding this out (pea protein "pushers"* 😯 ) & noting, Jerry. 🙏 😌
[* Film Director James Cameron and Suzy Amis Cameron announce Investments in the Saskatchewan Agriculture Sector — Launching today is the Camerons’ Verdient Foods Inc., whose goal is to become the largest organic pea protein fractionation facility in North America.

Yes . . . yes . . . the ‘profit motive’ 💰 🤑 may well be a key motivator behind ‘backers’ of such costly, high-star power, high-production value films 🎥 🎞 .
[Very, very disappointed. 😔 😞 ]
‘Pea protein’ — if not within a "whole pea" — is not in the spirit 👻 of simple, affordable (to all) ‘ whole foods’. 👎👎
Thank you again, Jerry. 🙏😌 . . . Will be on the lookout (critical eye 👁 accompanied by critical thinking 🤔 💭 ) about such ‘documentaries’.
Although they may capture the ‘spirit’ of a well-intentioned ‘movement’, details matter.
Jerry, this seems to be a critical (balanced ⚖️ critique) of the documentary (even though it doesn’t note Film Director James Cameron‘s connection to Verdient Foods Inc. ( verdientfoodsinc.com/ ):

As far as the link to turning cancer genes 🧬 on & off, I think T. Colin Campbell’s work has shown(?)/ proved (?) that connection? 🤔 healthunlocked.com/healthye...
A lot of thought went into making that film/documentary.
I watched a video not long ago of an interview with James Wilkes who was the star of the documentary.
Critics were saying that the athletes were likely payed to be in that documentary but according to Wilkes, none of the athletes were payed. It was all voluntary.
Nice relaxing weekend for me Zest, hope yours is good too :).
I had to take my halloween decorations down today :(. One of my favourite times of year too.
