OM DENNE EPISODE
What does it really take to create a documentary that changes minds, shifts culture, and sparks real-world impact?
In this powerful roundtable conversation, leading Vegan documentary directors Shaun Monson, Louie Psihoyos, Mark Pierschel, and Keegan Kuhn come together to discuss storytelling, strategy, and social change.
These filmmakers are behind some of the most influential documentaries of our time, including Earthlings, Cowspiracy, What the Health, The Game Changers, Racing Extinction, The End of Meat, and Live and Let Live. Together, they explore how film can influence food systems, animal ethics, public health, environmental awareness, and cultural norms on a global scale.
The panel discusses what it takes to reach audiences outside the Vegan bubble, how to balance impact with accessibility, how to navigate resistance and funding challenges, and why documentaries remain one of the most powerful tools for long-term change.
Whether you are Vegan, plant-curious, a filmmaker, or someone interested in how stories shape society, this episode offers rare behind-the-scenes insight into impact-driven filmmaking from the directors who helped define the modern Vegan documentary movement.
