- Ali Tabrizi
- 年份:
- 2021
- 片长:
- 1h 29m
- IMDb:
- 8.1/10
The ocean version of Cowspiracy: industrial fishing, bycatch, plastic pollution, dolphin and whale hunting, and the certifications that obscure rather than fix the problem.

- 年份:
- 2016
- 片长:
- 1h 30m
- IMDb:

如何使用此列表
三条经验法则。第一，从你已经担心的话题开始——气候焦虑的观众从《奶牛阴谋》(Cowspiracy) 开始；对健康好奇的观众从《餐叉胜于手术刀》(Forks Over Knives) 或《什么健康》(What the Health) 开始；伦理主导的观众从《地球生灵》(Earthlings) 或《统治》(Dominion) 开始。第二，如果可能，和某人一起观看——观影后的讨论比电影本身更有意义。第三，血腥的影片 (《地球生灵》(Earthlings)、《统治》(Dominion)) 最适合一次性观看；不要重复播放。
纪录片改变了什么，没改变什么
2019年斯坦福大学的一项试验表明，《素食者》(Game Changers) 使70%的观众对植物性蛋白质的态度发生了转变，并在六周后适度减少了肉类消费。《地球生灵》(Earthlings) 在定性访谈中是新纯素者最常提到的“最后一根稻草”。但纪录片主要触动那些已经好奇的人；对于观望者来说，最好是搭配他们信任的人烹制的餐食，并在一周后进行后续对话。
边看边读
为了深度，将电影与书籍搭配阅读：《吃动物》(Eating Animals, 福尔)、《这是纯素宣传》(This Is Vegan Propaganda, Earthling Ed)、《我们为何爱狗、食猪、穿牛皮》(Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows, 乔伊)、《不死的秘诀》(How Not to Die, 格雷格)、《我们即是天气》(We Are the Weather, 福尔)。对于调查性新闻，可查阅Animal Equality和Mercy For Animals的卧底档案。对于政策，可查阅粮农组织2013年《畜牧业的巨大阴影》报告和EAT-Lancet 2019年《行星健康饮食》报告。

如何举办一场真正改变心意的电影之夜
选择观众想看的电影
从对健康感兴趣的朋友开始，看《Forks Over Knives》或《The Game Changers》；从关注气候的朋友开始，看《Eating Our Way to Extinction》。选错电影比不放电影更糟糕。
先给他们吃好
在电影开始前提供一顿丰盛的植物性餐点，比任何纪录片都更能起到说服作用。饥饿会让人思想封闭。
之后跳过说教
让电影自己说话。只问一个开放性问题——“什么让你感到惊讶？”——然后倾听。人们自己引导出的对话才是他们会记住的。
准备好一个简单的下一步行动
一个食谱链接，一份初学者指南，或者下个月晚餐的邀请。没有指引的灵感在一周内就会消退。
实际问题
这些片子在Netflix上有吗？
大多数在大国可以在Netflix或Amazon Prime上流媒体播放。《统治》(Dominion) 在YouTube上免费，特意制作得很易于观看。《地球生灵》(Earthlings) 在官方网站上。
我会受到创伤吗？
其中一些很难看。和朋友一起看，休息一下，不要一口气看完。《地球生灵》(Earthlings) 和《统治》(Dominion) 最血腥；《素食者》(The Game Changers) 和《餐叉胜于手术刀》(Forks Over Knives) 则不是。
有没有受到批评的？
《什么健康》(What the Health)、《奶牛阴谋》(Cowspiracy) 和《海洋阴谋》(Seaspiracy) 都曾因具体统计数据受到质疑。核心论点是可靠的；引用前请核实确切数字。
有适合孩子看的吗？
《73头牛》(73 Cows) (温和)、《与动物共度圣诞》短片，以及大多数大卫·爱登堡的自然作品 (尤其是《地球上的生命》) 都能在没有血腥内容的情况下开启对话。
关于电影的常见问题
血腥的真的有必要吗？
对大多数观众来说，没必要。越来越多的证据表明，平静、充满希望的电影 (《素食者》(Game Changers)、《餐叉胜于手术刀》(Forks Over Knives)) 比血腥的电影更能打动人，后者可能会引发回避情绪。请谨慎使用血腥画面，并且只在愿意观看的观众面前使用。
如果一部电影因不准确而受到批评怎么办？
大多数纯素纪录片都会有一些夸大的说法 (《什么健康》(What the Health) 是最常被引用的例子)。核心数据——畜牧业是主要排放源，全食物植物性饮食能减少慢性病——是可靠的。将电影作为对话的开端，而不是引文列表。
我可以在哪里合法地流媒体观看它们？
大多数都在Netflix或Prime上；《统治》(Dominion) 在YouTube和dominionmovement.com上免费；《地球生灵》(Earthlings) 在Vimeo上免费。有几部在WaterBear Network (免费，环境纪录片) 上。
有没有适合儿童或青少年的非血腥电影？
《吃掉我们的路走向灭绝》(Eating Our Way to Extinction) (气候主题，Kate Winslet旁白)、《素食者》(The Game Changers) (体育)，或者《奶牛阴谋》(Cowspiracy) (没有屠宰场画面；调查性)。
证据怎么说
纪录片能改变行为——但这只在研究明确描述的特定条件下才成立。
视觉证据比单独的统计数据更能改变态度。
2020年《食欲》（Appetite）杂志上的一项实验（n=540）发现，观看一段10分钟关于工厂化养殖纪录片片段的参与者，比那些获得相同文本事实内容的参与者，表现出更强的减少肉类消费的意图——这种效果在4周后的随访中依然持续。[1]
关于动物的纪录片与具体的下一步行动结合时效果更好。
Faunalytics 对倡导干预措施的研究一致发现，纪录片之后附带一个具体的、低门槛的行动（一份食谱、一份承诺、一个入门工具包）比单独放映能带来2-3倍的行为改变。[2]
《奶牛阴谋》式的框架最能吸引有气候意识的受众。
Reducetarian Foundation 的受众细分研究发现，环境框架（水、土地、排放）比纯粹的伦理框架能触达更广泛的人群，而伦理框架能对接受它们的小部分受众产生更深层次的改变。[3]
观影之后
观看是第一步。如果一部影片让你久久不能忘怀，那么七日入门计划是实际的下一步。
