Exposing the Hypocrisy: How an Animal Charity Patron Became a Vegan Filmmaker

Actor and filmmaker Dan Richardson (Disney’s The Lodge) describes the moment he recognised the contradiction of advocating for animals while still eating them – a realisation that led him to veganism and to making the documentary Food For Thought.

He explains the film’s approach of pairing humour with serious subject matter, and the stories of participants who took on a 30-day vegan challenge.

Richardson also reflects on his own journey, the influence of his spiritual path, and the role other vegan documentaries played along the way.
