Informative

This documentary is not specifically about color, it's about becoming aware and educated on the products in which we are consuming. The historical facts are what they are and people of color happen to be followers of tradition. This documentary provides information that sheds some light on how to move forward and live a healthy lifestyle.

Impeccable.

This is the first documentary I've seen that talks about afroveganism and it's absolutely perfect, intersectional, well-written. It's informative and provocative, not to mention necessary, I really think people should watch it and inform themselves on the matter as much as they can - maybe even give it a try. Brilliant.

Revolution starts on your plate!

I've been Vegan for almost ten years and this documentary talked about so many issues that I never thought about! I became vegan for the environment but knowing everything I know now from this documentary has taught me so much more about how the dairy and meat industry has affected the black and brown community. I didn't know so many of my favorite revolutionaries were vegan!!! This film needs to be talked about and I'm so glad this is out for people to maybe look deeper than just a fad/hippie/granola diet. Let food be our medicine!!!!!

Same as Others

I have watched a dozen of documentaries about veganism and this is not different. It tells the exactly same things in the same order such as "doctors just get 4 hours of lesson about diet and nutrition in their whole education life".

I have heard this sentence in all of the documentaries so far. I'm looking for new info and bored of these repetitive documentaries.

Eye-opening documentary from the amazing Jasmine Leyva

Jasmine Leyva's film, "The Invisible Vegan," is visually and structurally appealing, educational, entertaining, and uplifting.

In this friendly, non-preachy film, Leyva puts to rest myths and misconceptions about the vegan diet, and answers the most-often asked questions (How do you get your protein?). In addition, she shares some benefits of a vegan diet that you may not have thought about-improved sex life, for instance. There are excerpts from interviews with health and medical experts, but we live in a world where celebrities hold greater sway than scientists, so Leyva wisely includes comments from Black celebrity vegans, including NBA star John Salley, Stic of Dead Prez, Cedric the Entertainer, Lezlie Love, and Nina Curtis.
