H.O.P.E: What You Eat Matters

H.O.P.E: What You Eat Matters seeks to find solutions to issues faced by Western society, such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer, by exploring dietary habits. With meat consumption having risen significantly over the past 50 years, author and filmmaker Nina Messinger travels to several countries to better understand the consequences of a meat-based diet. She meets experts in nutrition, medicine, science, and agriculture, as well as farmers and people who have recovered from severe illnesses through changes in diet.

H.O.P.E: What You Eat Matters is a thought-provoking documentary that exposes the truth behind the effects of the Western diet, which is high in animal-based foods. Through unsettling images and first-hand stories, the film challenges the ideals of the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries and calls on audiences to become more aware of what a meat-based diet is doing to the body and the environment.
