Peaceable Kingdom Movie Review

Have you seen the movie "Peaceable Kingdom" yet? If not, it's worth watching! I showed it to a group of people yesterday, seeing it for the first time myself, and I thought it was good. The group of people also liked the movie. It has some ups and downs and it tugs at your heart, but as soon as you are ready to burst into tears it brings you back up and shows you something really sweet. 

"Peaceable Kingdom" is a movie for people to see to learn about the connection that animals have to each other (such as the mother/baby relationship), as well as how people can come to change. They interview people at a sanctuary and those who used to raise animals for meat and how they made a transformation.

Vegan Ice Cream Social and "Got the Facts on Milk" documentary event

July is National Ice Cream Month. Because of this I wanted to find something with our vegetarian group to do that would allow people an alternative, so they could try vegan ice creams. We at the Daytona Beach Vegetarian Society decided to host a screening of the movie "Got the Facts on Milk?" documentary and hold a free vegan ice cream social.

The event was held yesterday at the Cinematique theater in Daytona Beach. It's a trendy little theater in a great area of town. We invited the public to join us before the movie for a free vegan ice cream social and movie screening.

This event was a success! We had plenty of varities of vegan ice cream for people to try and everything went well. The movie, if you haven't seen it yet, is great! It's a wonderful addition to my veg movie list. Two thumbs way up for the movie and the event!

My kids also took place in this event. My daughter helped serve up the cones, and my son ate a lot of ice cream. They both watched the movie.

This event was sponsored by VegFund, an amazing group that is spreading positive change across the nation. Thank you, VegFund!

Here are some pictures from this great event (pictured in the second picture: me, Sunshine Carol (from Sunshine Burgers), Terri, and my kids):

 

Vegucated Movie Review - Vegan movies

Have you seen the movie "Vegucated" yet? I saw it a couple of months ago, but never got around to blogging about it. I think it was a great movie! The movie does a wonderful job of introducing people (on screen and off) to veganism, animal rights, and eating healthy. I think it's a great movie and I think everyone should see it, both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.

I've seen a lot of movies that deal with vegetarianism or some related issue, but I think this is one of the best ones that I've seen. It takes viewers on an interesting journey, watching how the three people adapt to a vegan diet. There are ups and downs, but everyone learns along the way.

I also thought it was interesting how she did follow-ups at the end to let viewers know if the people stayed vegan or not. I'm curious if they have continued with at least vegetarianism to this point. 

Overall, great movie. Two thumbs up!
