In today’s episode we’re having a look at Simon Amstell’s 2017 vegan mockumentary Carnage. Set in the year 2067, the film chronicles the events leading up to a utopian future in which animal liberation has been achieved and plant based living has become the norm. We’ll discuss the rise of veganism as depicted in the movie and how it compares to our real world situation, touching on topics such as the devastating effects of intensive farming on the environment and the emergence of deadly zoonotic diseases. Carnage overall is more humorous in tone and less gore-heavy than other vegan documentaries, which we found makes it a more approachable introduction to the subject.
