8 Animal-Friendly Netflix Suggestions

Educating yourself about animal rights, food choices, health, and veganism really is as simple as sitting down and watching a movie. Oo, I like the way that sounds! It’s also a great way to collectively get your friends and family in on the action. Whip up a batch of popcorn, grab some Red Vines, and get ready for some awesome animal-friendly feature presentations.

If you’re rockin’ Netflix, be sure to queue these babies up!


8 Animal-Friendly Netflix Suggestions

  1. I Am Animal – Explores the world of Ingrid Newkirk and PETA.
  2. Earthlings – Delves into the food, entertainment and medical industries’ use of animals and links each to the world economy (narrated by Joaquin Phoenix).
  3. The Cove* – Follows daring animal activists at a cove in Taijii, Japan, capturing footage of a secretive and heavily guarded operation run by the world’s largest supplier of dolphins.
  4. Bold Native – This fictional feature film tells the story of a young animal rights activist.
  5. Food Inc.* – Exposes the sources of the food we eat and its environmental impacts.
  6. Food Matters* – Focuses on using nutritionally-rich, plant-based foods for optimal health.
  7. Crazy Sexy Cancer – Follows the journey of a young woman looking for a natural cure for her cancer.
  8. The Beautiful Truth – Promotes a plant-based, vegan diet as cancer and disease prevention.

    It’s awesome they’re promoting The Beautiful Truth. That’s a really good movie. I found it particularly interesting as a vegan with brain cancer. I haven’t really seen the other movies up there, but I’ll have to check them out (:

    Earthlings is really powerful. It covers such a wide variety of issues that I love showing it to my student group during events. The Cove is AMAZING! I would definately reccommend Bold Native – such a great story! I feel like Food, Inc. talks about the animal aspects, but also talks about the industry a lot. I prefer Earthlings over Food, Inc. but it’s still a great movie.

    Never seen the other ones, but looking forward to watching them.

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
