forks over knives comes out next week!
Earlier in the year, I blogged about an exciting new documentary called Forks Over Knives, all about the health benefits of a plant-based diet. The film comes out on May 6 in select cities (go here to find out where), and it's chalk full of interviews with researchers, doctors, and experts, including The China Study author Colin T. Campbell, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Dr. Esselstyn's son and author of The Engine 2 Diet, Rip Esselstyn, and of course, PCRM's Dr. Neal Barnard!
There have been screenings of Forks Over Knives happening around the country over the past few months, so many of you might have seen it already. It's picked up quite a bit of buzz outside of the vegan community too, with news outlets like CNN discussing it!
If you haven't seen Forks Over Knives already, go check it out, and tell me what you think! Get friends and family to see it. I'll be curious to hear what all of your non-veg friends think.
I can't wait to see it, and I can't wait to hear what you think!

I went to see this in NYC last week and it solidified my position as a vegan. It was a well researched description of how powerful the benefits are of adopting a vegan lifestyle. It was not just a purely emotional film, it was factual, and that was the best part. The evidence is right there, it's not some abstract concept that animal products are not good for us. There is clinical proof. So I hope it becomes more wide spread and changes a few people's minds about what it means to have a healthy diet. Glad I was fortunate to live in an area where it is playing, it was a great experience. Thanks for recommending it!

I really want to see this movie, but it doesn't look like it's coming to a theatre near me in Nova Scotia. I guess I'll just have to wait for it to appear on itunes so I can download it. :-(

Ok I can't find anywhere the release date for the UK, does anybody know when this might be? The China Study was an amazing book, I really want to watch this now! x

What an inspiring video!
I live in Canada so hopefully it will come out here too.
I definately want to see this one!

I hope I can get my family to see this since they have been naysayers since I first started to become vegan
-
Just wanted to add that tomorrow Dr. Oz is having a Forks Over Knives segment...I hope to catch it. He's always seemed very supportive of eating vegan.

I saw this already in my class, and it was amazing! Really informative and very inspiring. Being the only vegetarian in the class, I definitely walked around with my head held high that day. The benefits of this lifestyle are so apparent, and this film really shows those plusses from health to economics. Love it!

Oh wow - it looks great.
Really looking forward to seeing it and hoping it makes people think about what they put in their bodies.

This is coming to a theater near me on May 20! I'm so excited. Thank you so much for sharing this!

I want to see this so badly! Also, netflix for xbox (I know it's a waste of power sometimes but I cant peel my boyfriend away) has some great documentaries like "Food Matters," "Tapped" (which is filmed near my hometown), and "Food, Inc." It's one of our favorite downtime activities is scrolling the documentaries available.

It seems like we've all been waiting a long time - can't wait to finally see it!

This is awesome-I can't wait to see it! Maybe it will help others around me to also see that my lifestyle is actually a really positive thing.
-
Oh no!! It's not coming out near me =( The preview looks awesome and I'd love to see it and watch it with my family -- hope it gets released to DVD/maybe online soon!
