This week, the new Netflix movie Okja was released. It’s an action-adventure film that shows the horrors of animal agriculture through the eyes of a young girl and her “super pig.” Filmmaker Bong Joon Ho should take pride in the fact that what he made is effective, because it already has numerous people pledging to go vegan after connecting with the story. If you’re ready to watch the film, here are some things that you can expect to happen:

1. She can’t even stand the sight of meat now.
