For six weeks, three New Yorkers adopt a vegan diet and a whole new way of thinking about food.
This is a preliminary promo piece for a film that’s being produced by Kind Green Planet, a nonprofit environmental and animal protection organization. VEGUCATED is a guerilla-style documentary that tells the true story of three people who agree to do one thing: change what they eat. For six weeks, these meat- and cheese-loving New Yorkers adopt a vegan diet and a whole new way of thinking about food. The physical impacts of the lifestyle are noticeable, but it’s the emotional changes that are truly profound. Watch this preliminary promo piece for a hint of what’s to come. (Note: the film used to be entitled “GLASS WALLS.”)
