DOCUMENTARIES

​

There are countless inspiring documentaries that spotlight animal issues, health, and the environment.  You just need to search the internet to find them.

​

With that said, I'd like to recommend the films listed below as kind of a "vegan documentary starter kit."  I know that you'll find them extremely informative and at times, jaw-dropping.  Be sure to visit my site again, as I will be adding more important documentaries to the list.
