The Max Original culinary special Unbelievably Vegan with Chef Charity will debut on the streaming service on Thursday, August 22, 2024.

Celebrity chef Charity Morgan is on a mission to integrate vegan options onto the menu at Nashville’s beloved Germantown Pub, a local sports bar run by a stubborn chef who’s set in his meat-eating ways.

Chef Charity’s “Three R” system of “Replace, Replicate, Reveal” is put to the test as she pulls out all the stops to convince these carnivores to let a little vegan into their lives and onto their menu.

Charity Morgan is a best-selling author, chef, and vegan lifestyle advocate. Holding a culinary degree from Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts, Chef Charity has spent her professional life offering people a panoramic view of what it really means to live a plant-based lifestyle.

With over 15 years of professional cooking experience, Chef Charity has found...

The results are in for PETA's 14th annual Libby Awards (“Libby” is short for “liberation” — as in “animal liberation”), in which the group’s youth division recognizes the most powerful players on the animal rights scene — and Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton and NBA All-Star Chris Paul have come out on top for advocating healthy vegan eating.

Hamilton won Best ’Gram for Animals for sharing a photo of a mother pig and her babies lying dead in a dumpster and urging followers to go vegan. In the post, he wrote, “A mother and her babies tossed away like trash. Their rights were never considered, their lives were never theirs to live. This is the price of your bacon. … #chooselove #govegan.”

Paul — who, like Hamilton, is among the executive producers of the groundbreaking documentary The Game Changers — was named Most Animal-Friendly Athlete for touting the benefits of vegan eating.

It’s not often that the indie box office overlaps with the top of the overall box office, but such was the case this weekend with Focus Features/Carnival’s “Downton Abbey,” which was only outperformed by “Where’s My Roy Cohn?” for the top per screen average.

Sony Pictures Classics’ “Where’s My Roy Cohn?” earned that top spot, opening in a traditional four-screen, Los Angeles/New York indie release and grossed $42,364 for an average of $10,591.

Directed by Matt Tyrnauer (“Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood”), “Where’s My Roy Cohn?” compiles the history of one of America’s most infamous far-right political influencers and “fixers.” Cohn, who served as chief counsel for Sen. Joseph McCarthy during the Red Scare in the 1950s and later served as the mentor and lawyer for Donald Trump, was disbarred in 1986 for unethical conduct. The film has a 75% Rotten Tomatoes score.

Arnold Schwarzenegger knows a thing or two about the pressure men face to be seen as “manly.”

The seven-time Mr. Olympia and former bodybuilder appears in The Game Changers, a documentary from Oscar-winners Louie Psihoyos and James Cameron about the rise of the plant-based food industry in professional sports. The doc follows elite James Wilks, Special Forces trainer and winner of The Ultimate Fighter, on a quest for the truth about meat, protein and strength.

Several prominent athletes who follow a plant-based diet appear, including Schwarzenegger, who has reduced his meat intake by 80%.

In People’s exclusive clip of the movie,...

"This is going to wake a lot of people up." A trailer has arrived for the documentary The Game Changers, which first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2018. The film is about athletes and body-builders who have switched to a plant-based diet. Not only does it challenge the belief that you must eat meat to be strong, but it uses science and actual evidence to show that plant-based diets can lead to better health and better performance overall. "The Game Changers will introduce the world to elite athletes, special ops soldiers, visionary scientists, cultural icons, and everyday heroes. Each on a mission to create a seismic shift in the way we eat and live." The film is executive produced by James Cameron, and features Arnold Schwarzenegger talking about his experiences, along with many other athletes, celebrities, body-builders, doctors, and strength champions.

Vegans are very excited for Louie Psihoyos’s “The Game Changers.” They have high hopes for its reach and impact. You might go so far as to say that they want it to change the game. And vegans may just get their wish: “The Game Changers” is executive produced by James Cameron and features a cameo by the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger, both of whom lend it a degree of high-profile celebrity that would be otherwise foreign to a fairly dull — if importantish —documentary about the evils of meat.

Not the first and surely not the last film hoping to overwhelm carnivores with evidence that abandoning meats wouldn't be the kind of change they've been led to believe, Louie Psihoyos' The Game Changers puts most of its energy into profiling athletes whose amazing strength and endurance derive entirely from plant-based diets. Almost identical in shape and content to Santino Panico's recent From the Ground Up, Psihoyos' version is much more polished and slightly less likely to leave viewers feeling they've been beaten over the head with a tuber.

Louie Psihoyos, the Oscar-winning director of The Cove, returns to the Sundance Film Festival with The Game Changers, his new documentary on the health and environmental impacts of plant-based diets. Psihoyos premiered his previous doc, Racing Extinction, at the festival in 2015. To edit Game Changers, Psihoyos hired seasoned doc editor Dan Swietlik (An Inconvenient Truth, Sick0) to cut the film. He soon brought on a second editor, Stephanie Mechura (The Price of Sex), to help finish the job. Below, Swietlik and Mechura share their experiences on cutting The Game Changers.
