Part sociological experiment and part adventure comedy, this film is a guerrilla-style documentary that follows three meat- and cheese-loving New Yorkers who agree to adopt a vegan diet for six weeks.

Lured by tales of weight lost and health regained, they begin to uncover the hidden sides of animal agriculture that make them wonder whether solutions offered in films like Food, Inc. go far enough.

Plus, stick around after the movie for a Q&A with Humane Educator, James Wildman from the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida.
