From the Ground Up (2017)
Delivers a knockout
Full disclosure I'm vegan and my story mirrors some of the athletes' stories in this film (i.e. I was struggling from chronic inflammation which was hampering my sports performance and eventually ended with me on sick leave from work -- went vegan, inflammation went away and now 2 years later I still feel better than ever).... BUT I find shock-tactic evangelical vegan documentaries to be offensive and obnoxious... This documentary is NOT one of those vegan propaganda docs. It's balanced, interesting, provides many different stories, journeys, viewpoints from a variety of athletes and touches briefly on peripheral issues (i.e. environmental effects of animal agriculture) without hijacking the film. Totally recommend watching, it will make you think and inspire you!
