New Showbiz Analysis

The documentary functions primarily as an ideological inquiry into modern veganism. It prioritizes systemic environmental concerns and the critique of human consumption over individual identity-driven narratives. While the film lacks specific data regarding LGBTQ+, racial, or disability representation, it finds strength in its cultural framing. By linking dietary choices to planetary health and overpopulation, it engages with progressive, anti-capitalist themes. Ultimately, the film is a study of lifestyle ideology rather than a character-driven exploration of the way different parts of someone's identity overlap.

Official Synopsis

Modern veganism that does not want to miss anything is the new lifestyle of a young, healthy generation. But nature has not provided for humans to eat vegan food at all. Veganism has little known health hazards if used improperly, but can also be a blessing for this planet and its overpopulation. The journalist John A. Kantara traces the different facets of this ideology of faith.
