Over the last decade or two, I don’t think anything has been more important to veganism than documentaries. Today marks the release of a new one called The Game Changers. This is how they’re talking about it on their website:
Directed by Oscar®-winning documentary filmmaker Louie Psihoyos and executive produced by James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan, Lewis Hamilton, Novak Djokovic, and Chris Paul, The Game Changers tells the story of James Wilks — elite Special Forces trainer and The Ultimate Fighter winner — as he travels the world on a quest to uncover the optimal diet for human performance.
Showcasing elite athletes, special ops soldiers, visionary scientists, cultural icons, and everyday heroes, what James discovers permanently changes his understanding of food and his definition of true strength.
Whenever I meet folks new to veganism, they usually talk about how documentaries like Forks Over Knives, Food, Inc., and Earthlings changed their perspective. I think The Game Changers is a new category of film that we’d been missing, especially of this caliber, with world-class athletes talking about the benefits they’ve seen in their bodies and lives. I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m interested. When this thing hits Netflix, its effects are going to be massive — especially within the crowd of people who think veganism means sacrificing strength.
