231- Vegan Movies: To Shock or Not To Shock?

So many of us have changed our lives to become vegan because of hard-hitting video productions, detailing the horrors of animal agriculture & other forms of exploitation...and yet perhaps even more will say that graphic footage will prevent them from watching a film or short video. And that's before we get to the whole host of adverts that have been banned in recent years for arguably the most mild and short snippets of animal exploitation. Is there a happy medium? Or are we left to just take pot luck guesses with our vegan movie production decisions? Ant, Mark & Julie discuss the nuances and tricky decisions surround making animal rights video content.

In the discussion, we mention:
