Come watch Vegucated with us! This is a free screening.

We’ll have vegan snacks for sale and a brief discussion after the film. Invite your friends using the Facebook event page.

Part sociological experiment and part adventure comedy, Vegucated follows three meat- and cheese-loving New Yorkers who agree to adopt a vegan diet for six weeks. Lured by tales of weight lost and health regained, they begin to uncover the hidden sides of animal agriculture that make them wonder whether solutions offered in films like Food, Inc. go far enough. This entertaining documentary showcases the rapid and at times comedic evolution of three people who discover they can change the world one bite at a time.

Volunteers are needed at this event to welcome guests and sell snacks. If you’d like to help out, contact Laura Matanah at [email protected].

“Vegucated is a funny, entertaining and informative film — a must see.” – Russell Simmons, hip hop mogul

“This film can change your life in so many positive ways; it’s truly a must-see. What I love most is how Marisa Miller Wolfson presents interesting facts and compelling information in such a fun way that you barely notice you’re learning some big stuff!” – Kathy Freston, author of best-selling books Veganist and Quantum Wellness

“Oh. My. Dog. What a great film! I’d highly recommend it to anyone who wants to raise their karma while lowering their cholesterol. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you may find yourself wanting to make out with everyone in the film…if hilarious and inspiring is your thing. Crazy Sexy Grade: A for Awesome.” – Kris Carr, author of Crazy Sexy Diet
