Well Researched

This is a very well researched movie about plant-based athletes. It completely changes the perception that vegan/plant based eating is not for athletes/body builders. Has very insightful interviews with real life olympian vegan athletes and body builders about how their life turned around after they turned plant based. This is a great film that I would recommend anyone interested in improving their health and life style to watch.

Excellent!

A movie not to be missed.Very informative and well presented.

9TheDestroia

Definitely worth watching.

A documentary highlighting the importance of diet not only for better health but the effects on physical performance in athletes.

If I had not already been diagnosed with high cholesterol, eighty percent of the information showcased here would be new to me. So it is good to see this information getting out into the minds of the masses.

This message also included alot of humour in some of the studies that were conducted and is highly recommended!

The Game Changers is only out for limited sessions, so go to it soon!

Conveying

As a 27 year old man who loves his fried chicken and has never given a thought to being vegan this documentary has made me decide For the first time in my life about going vegan

Loved it

Brilliant documentary we watched in it the cinema, im my opinion it was presented in a way that would reach a wider range of people without being preachy like a lot of these documentaries tend to be. Was very happy I got to meet Patrik in person a couple of years ago a very humble but inspiring man.

Trivia
There is a podcast episode of the Joe Rogan Experience that breaks down supposed inaccuracies in this documentary. In December 2019 James Wilks went on Joe Rogan's show and responded to the criticism and debated Chris Kresser for 4 hours. Joe Rogan was so impressed he said he's considering taking the original show with Kresser offline.

Quotes
Patrik Baboumian: Somebody asked me, how can you get as strong as an ox without eating meat? And my answer was, have you ever seen an ox eating meat?
