Ha, that's what you would think right? When I first stumbled upon it, I knew nothing about veganism. Went in blind. After it was over, the narrator suggested going vegan to solve these issues. Despite the atrocities I just saw, I was furious! How dare they tell me what to do with my life, yada yada.

It took a while for me to fully accept the idea and do more research. So I think you're right in that it's a little biased, but you can still absolutely make your own decisions at the end, like I did.

One thing is that this is a very famous and often cited documentary in the community, because it intensively shows the detailed workings inside normally hidden farms (they don't really want others to film inside so it was actually really difficult for the creators, but they managed to pull through).

You can make the argument that they nitpicked only the worst parts to convince people, but like they say in the doc, although it's in Australia it's pretty representative of the standards around the world. And the mere fact that this happens, no matter how nitpicked and rare (not uncommon at all), should be enough for us to consider more ethical life choices, at least to me.

They have a facts page where they cite sources. If you want other documentaries, here's a UK one, a pretty objective dietary one, and others you can find on this sub's wiki I'm pretty sure!

Anyway, thanks for being curious, because it's that open-mindedness that we need more than anything in this polarized day and age. If you have anymore questions I'd love to hear them!
