This course has analyzed why we, viewers, believe what we are being told or rather yet what we are watching. What makes us value the main character? What drives us to hate the antagonist? In this case, why is a plant based diet a “game changer”? This documentary grabbed my attention in many ways. The film broke down scientific elements that I had yet to comprehend. The use of diverse examples furthered my knowledge in terms of the physical benefits a plant based diet can provide. Finally, I was unaware of the numerous historically gifted athletes that validated a plant based diet. After watching this with my father, an advocate for meat eaters, we were both astonished and taken aback at the information we had been lacking all these years. The film issued a cause and effect relationship, persuasion, and identification on a high level which established a very excellent documentary that changed many people’s perception of vegetarians and vegans.
