People are suffering. Expulsed out of their homes, threatened and harmed, “the poor” are trying to stand strong in front of the corporations and the politicians who do not care about their well being. This short documentary is an eye opener about the ethics on which “investments” in Brazil are based upon.
Will the people, the Brazilians and those that live in the Favelas be heard?
If we are a football fan… can we look into the eyes of those who lost their homes and tell them: “My love for football and my desire of watching the games is more important than your homes and the future of your children.”?
Global sport events have their moment of glory, for a few weeks nations and fans will celebrate, laugh, cry, drink, dance and party, while watching athletes and football players do their thing. Yet, have you ever asked yourself what the consequences are for the locals? Are these events build on values and ethics that support well-being, health, growth? Are these events putting more pressure on the poor and are these events taking care of those who are living in derived areas?

I was on a mission, searching for a compassionate and ethical way to consume food. I am not a vegan as yet, but I know that this is direction I am heading. Whether or not you are on that path, education is key, and we should all know what happens behind the scenes before it ends up on our plate.
This documentary is not trash, neither does it try to be a pilot for a horror movie. It is just a very genuine film based on the journey of several people who ate meat, and who are diving into a world they didn’t know… What inspired me most is the new definitions, the new choices we can make. We don’t have to be a strict vegan to change the world, we can be a “mostly vegan”, or we can be a “vegetarian, sometimes vegan”… the beauty is that everyone can make new responsible choices based on facts that have now been unveiled.

For those searching for a compassionate way of eating. I like that word… compassionate… This is how I want to approach the way I consume food.
One thing that will stay with me from watching this documentary is: “can I look into the eyes of a living being and tell them that their suffering and their fear is less important than my appetite?”. Food for thought, and choices for food… Oprah’s shows are inspiring as always.
