The Yoyo Effect
It is a ground-breaking vegan documentary that tears into the world of dieting and weight loss.

There is plenty of science-based information from experts like Dr. Michael Greger and Dr. Neal Barnard that advocate plant-based eating. The best part of the documentary is that it also opens up your mind that not all vegan foods are healthy and highlights the adverse effects of vegan junk foods.

Eating animals is a documentary based on Jonathan Safra Foer’s book that also has the same name. It is an eye-opener that discusses the grim reality of the impacts of factory farming on the environment, economy, and health. It takes you through the journey of food production in the United States how we have moved from local and sustainable to Food incorporation. The film is narrated by Natalie Portman, who is an animal activist and co-producer of this vegan documentary.
Dominion is a vegan documentary on the Australian animal agriculture industry. It digs deeper into how animals are abused and mistreated for the sake of meat, clothes, research, entertainment and even as pets. A film that will transform the way you eat, live, and buy.
Animals and birds all have the same right to live just like we humans do. We all share the planet, and it is for every living thing not only humans. These vegan movies and vegan documentaries strive to bring a realization. We are more powerful and operate with higher intelligence, but that is not an excuse to exploit other living things for food, fashion, beauty and entertainment. Lastly, we all have a choice - the choice to make a conscious effort to move towards cruelty-free practices and living. Hopefully, more vegan movies and vegan documentaries featuring wholesome plant-based foods and cruelty-free living are produced to increase awareness.
