We’ve gathered a selection of our favorite documentaries and films about veganism and related topics. Feel free to watch these to spark thoughts and inspiration.
Cowspiracy
This documentary was, for me personally, the starting point of my vegan journey. After watching it, I truly began to question the animal industry. Cowspiracy reveals the connection between the meat industry and its massive impact on climate change.

The Game Changers
The Game Changers focuses on plant-based diets and elite athletes who have transitioned to a plant-based lifestyle and thereby improved their performance. It features strongman Patrik Baboumian, MMA fighter James Wilks’ journey to a plant-based diet, and even includes a cameo by Arnold Schwarzenegger. This is a great source of inspiration if you’re into training or fitness.

What The Health
This film takes a deep dive into public health agencies and how the link between what we eat and disease is downplayed in the U.S. It examines how meat, dairy, and eggs can lead to illness. Even if it exaggerates some claims, the overall message is clear and powerful.

Documentaries from inside the animal industry
Dominion
This documentary systematically goes through various sectors of the animal industry and shows real footage from inside. It’s long and disturbing, but incredibly important to expose the horrors taking place in all types of factory farms.

Earthling Eds Land of Hope and Glory
Ed takes us behind the scenes of over 100 British farming facilities – often with an idyllic facade, but behind the surface lie cramped cages, brutal slaughter methods, and suffering animals. It’s raw, honest, and impossible to ignore what’s truly happening.
