This takes about twenty minutes to watch, but it is worth every second. Prof. Francione discusses a wide variety of topics, including how he went vegan and why we should never feel too discouraged about the future. Katie the Border collie mix is a bonus! ~
Gary L. Francione is Distinguished Professor of Law and Nicholas deB. Katzenbach Scholar of Law and Philosophy at Rutgers University School of Law-Newark. While traveling about N. America meeting people for I’m Vegan, the crew stopped for an on-camera chat with the professor about animal rights and veganism.
This short segment was cut from Risa’s final profile. In this bonus clip, Risa recalls when she used to eat KFC, and how “distancing” worked to keep her from thinking about what (or who) we are eating.
Julia is an 11-year vegan living in Springfield, MO at the time this profile was shot, where she studied social work at a Christian college. She’s 26 years old.
In this video, Julia discusses her relationships with others as a vegan, gives advice to people considering veganism, and talks a little about her reasons for being vegan.
Better know a vegan! Press play.
Risa has been vegan over a decade. She works at a raw restaurant in Vancouver, where she lives and also works as a singer/songwriter. To learn more, and to hear one of her tracks, press play. For more info and videos, visit vegandocumentary.com.
