Animal rights · EthicsGraphic content
The single most cited 'turning point' film. A comprehensive look at humanity's use of animals across pets, food, clothing, entertainment and research, narrated by Joaquin Phoenix with a score by Moby. Hidden-camera footage exposes what is normally kept out of view and asks viewers to reconsider deeply rooted assumptions about human superiority.
Animal rights · InvestigativeGraphic content
The Australian update to Earthlings — technically and ethically. Handheld, hidden and aerial drone footage reveals the reality of modern animal exploitation across food, clothing, entertainment and research. Narrated by Joaquin Phoenix, Rooney Mara, Sia, Kat Von D and Sadie Sink. Free to watch on the official site.
Animal rights · UK farmingGraphic content
A UK-focused exposé of standard animal-agriculture practices in Britain, dismantling the marketing image of 'high welfare' farming with footage gathered from over a hundred farms and slaughterhouses. Free on YouTube.
Ethics · Farming transition
A short, beautifully made BAFTA-winning portrait of Jay Wilde, the first British beef farmer to turn his herd over to sanctuary and convert his farm to plant-based agriculture. Gentle, short, devastating — ideal for sceptics and family viewing.
Animal rights · InvestigativeGraphic content
A multi-year undercover investigation of the UK pork industry — including farms labelled 'humane' and 'RSPCA Assured'. Combines investigative journalism with first-hand activist footage to challenge the assumptions behind welfare labels.
Animal rights · Factory farmingGraphic content
Narrated by Jerome Flynn, this undercover investigation enters one of Britain's largest intensive pig farms — a supplier to a major supermarket chain — and documents systemic neglect, overcrowding and abuse behind the façade of high welfare standards.
Health · Nutrition
The Esselstyn and Campbell case for whole-food, plant-based diets against heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Combines patient stories with the research of Caldwell Esselstyn (Cleveland Clinic) and T. Colin Campbell (Cornell), arguing that many chronic diseases can be prevented and even reversed through diet.
Health · Sports performance
Produced by James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan and Novak Djokovic. Follows elite athletes, special forces soldiers and scientists to dismantle the protein myth and make a slick, inviting case for plant-based performance. The most accessible health-angle entry point.
Health · Policy
An investigation into the relationship between diet, chronic disease and the health organisations funded by the industries causing them. Useful as a starter; the broad direction is well supported by epidemiology, but check exact figures before quoting.
Health policy · Nutrition
T. Colin Campbell's son Nelson investigates the political and corporate forces shaping public nutrition guidelines in the United States, while running a community pilot of a whole-food, plant-based diet in a Kentucky town.
Public health · Pandemics
Narrated by Rooney Mara, with Joaquin Phoenix as executive producer. Connects animal agriculture to antimicrobial resistance and pandemic risk, drawing on epidemiologists, virologists and physicians. The clearest health-systems argument for shifting away from animal farming.
Environment · Climate
The personal-investigation film that made animal agriculture's climate footprint a mainstream conversation. Asks why major environmental groups have historically avoided the topic, and meets the scientists, ranchers and activists who do address it.
Environment · Oceans
The ocean version of Cowspiracy: industrial fishing, bycatch, plastic pollution, dolphin and whale hunting, and the certifications that obscure rather than fix the problem. Some statistics have been contested; the core argument — that scale of fishing is incompatible with marine recovery — is widely supported.
Environment · Biodiversity
Narrated by Kate Winslet, with appearances from Sylvia Earle, Tony Robbins and Richard Branson. Brings together climate, ocean, deforestation and biodiversity loss into a single argument about the food system. Polished, cinematic and broadly accessible.
Environment · Biodiversity
David Attenborough's 'witness statement' for the natural world. Not strictly a vegan film, but the recommendations are explicit: shift to a largely plant-based diet, restore land and oceans, stabilise the human population. Excellent family viewing.
Food system · Investigative
The gateway film for many. Examines the corporate food system in the United States — its workers, animal welfare, environmental costs and political capture — through Eric Schlosser, Michael Pollan and Joel Salatin. Not strictly vegan, but starts most of the conversations that vegan films deepen.
Food system · Policy
Fifteen years on, the same team revisit the consolidated, lobbying-heavy food industry that emerged in the wake of the original — and the alternatives now scaling up, from cellular agriculture to community food systems.
Labour · ObservationalGraphic content
Observational, almost wordless short from Argentina. Follows the workers of an industrial slaughterhouse through their shift, letting the rhythm of the work speak for itself. Quietly devastating.
Religion · Ethics
A multi-year investigation across continents into whether any spiritual tradition can justify the killing of animals for food. Interviews theologians, scholars, archaeologists and spiritual leaders, tracing how teachings on compassion and stewardship have been interpreted across 2,000 years.
Lifestyle · Veganism 101
Three meat-and-cheese-loving New Yorkers take a six-week vegan challenge. A warm, accessible introduction to the practical realities of plant-based eating, food shopping, social pressure and ethical learning curves — relatable for newcomers and family viewing.
Lifestyle · Community
Four very different people, one thing in common — all are vegan. A quiet, intimate film that focuses on culture, work, family and daily life rather than shock footage or polemics. Useful for showing the normality of long-term plant-based living.
