The Game Changers 2018 Directed by Louie Psihoyos
From the UFC Octagon in Las Vegas and the anthropology lab at Dartmouth, to a strongman gym in Berlin and the bushlands of Zimbabwe, the world is introduced to elite athletes, special ops soldiers, visionary scientists, cultural icons, and everyday heroes—each on a mission to create a seismic shift in the way we eat and live.
“I guess I won't be eating my fried chicken no more.” -Kenny Stills, Miami Dolphins
After suffering an injury, filmmaker Louie Psihoyos studied athletes who ate a plant-based diet.
It was somewhat similar to What the Health (showing animals as the middle-man to get protein) and Tomorrow (detailing how much water it takes for us to consume red meat).
What sets it apart is that it focuses on successful athletes such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Edwin Moses, Morgan Mitchell, Dotsie Botsch, three members of the Miami Dolphins, Patrik Baboumian, a ton of Tennessee Titans players, Lucious Smith, Nate Diaz, and includes interviews with a geneticist, cardiologist, among other health officials.
Neat facts were revealed such as:
-gladiators were primarily vegetarian
-energy…

My local cinema was showing a premiere screening of this movie and I thought I should see it because the names attached to it caught my eye. I wasn't expecting much at all, but I ended up really loving it. I have no interest in anything in the world of sport and I definitely do not enjoy exercise nor do I enjoy vegetables, but I found this to be one of the most interesting documentaries I remember ever watching. It was very well edited, the tone is pretty upbeat so I never felt bored, and it offered a very interesting social commentary on the current state of the environment and the…
the scene where they made the straight men eat vegan and then science proved that all their erections got bigger and they were better at sex... i, a gay vegan, truly LOVE to see it
I'm not an expert by any means, but I have spent a lot of time reading books, blogs, articles, listening to podcasts and watching documentaries on the subject of nutritional health.
In my late teens, I was macrobiotic briefly, and then vegetarian for nearly 10 years. In my late 30s, I was Paleo for around 4 years. I don't consider myself paleo now, but I do focus on a "whole foods" diet that is extremely minimal in grains, entirely free of soy, legumes, vegetable oils, and most nuts, but does include dairy and refined sugar. I try my best to eat GMO-free, mostly local produce, beef and dairy from grass-fed cattle, and eggs from pasture-raised hens. And yes, I do…
The Game Changers makes a compelling argument for the nutritional benefits of a plant-based lifestyle. As a film, it is well-constructed, with a balance between recognizable (athlete/celebrity) and credible (scientist) sources that will probably influence most viewers to consider the foods they’re putting in their bodies.
So enlightening. This thing spits stats faster than Francesco. Everyone should watch this If they’re looking to improve their wellness.
The "manly-man" angle isn't necessarily one that speaks to me personally, but I'm happy this exists as it speaks to a group that's traditionally been most resistant to the message. Glad they spent a few minutes on the ethical and environmental reason behind veganism, too. And I was happy to see Michael Gregor's name attached.
(Maybe a pure Scott Jurek doc next?)
very important movie that everyone should watch, need more vegans ouchea 😤😤 but definitely should be crucial to watch especially for any athletes like myself, I am going to try to get my teammates to watch this in an attempt to help them out.
one thing which i disliked was the way they portrayed the vegan foods as seemingly expensive, as they only showed these elusive superstars in action with the foods, like when the NFL players wife was prepping the meals for that NFL team it looked so excellent, but it could seem that the price point would be an unfortunate deterrence to any non-vegans, when this absolutely is NOT the case at all.
this movie is pleasing, empowering, important, funny and inspiring and everyone should watch it !!
Thought this was pretty great watch, since I myself am a vegan. It's good to see that athletes are switching up their eating habits and finding ways to compete healthier.
Good documentary, basically be vegan the movie, but with great information backing up why
