What the Health—the follow-up film from the creators of the groundbreaking documentary Cowspiracy—is taking the Netflix-watching world by storm. In the film, executive producer Joaquin Phoenix blows the lid off “the collusion and corruption in government and big business that is costing us trillions of healthcare dollars, and keeping us sick.”
Much as they did to the other recent Netflix game changer, Okja, many folks—celebrities included—are expressing strong reactions to the film. The documentary has undoubtedly had a major impact on vegans and nonvegans alike, persuading many to consider a plant-based diet.
Just watched #WhatTheHealth and I’m going vegan.

“What The Health” I recommend watching this. There are a lot of things they don’t tell you about the food you’re eating every day.

Well, this was going to happen regardless, just didn't think so soon. Going plant based after watching "What the health".

Phoenix has never been one to shy away from tough subjects, having helped PETA expose wool producers, the trade in dog leather, the cold-blooded horror of the exotic-skins industry, and more. And he isn’t shying away from this issue, either.
