There are many films that have changed the world’s view of vital and sometimes thorny issues, perhaps some do not know much about climate change issues and their reflection on our daily lives, but there are a group of films that have contributed to shedding light on these issues, until the views of some viewers have radically transformed .
In her article published on the American site "Buzzfeed", writer Hanifa Rahman said that there are many films that have contributed to pushing many people to boycott meat and follow vegetable-based diets.
Their justifications come from facts they learned about the processed meat trade, the merciless methods of slaughtering animals in some countries subjected to electrocution or sometimes suffocation, and skinning of animal skins and furs for use in the manufacture of valuable clothing and leather.
These scenes caused them to switch to the vegan diet.
Here is a list of some films that reveal these facts, which, if you do not change your diet, may contribute to increasing your knowledge of these important issues:

But since the day I watched this movie, everything changed, and I decided to become a vegetarian. In the beginning.
