The Game Changers

About

The Game Changers is a 2018 documentary film that explores the benefits of a plant-based diet for athletes. Directed by Louie Psihoyos and produced by Joseph Pace and James Wilks, the film follows James Wilks, a UFC fighter and Special Forces trainer, as he delves into the world of vegan athletes. The documentary features interviews with elite athletes like Scott Jurek and Patrik Baboumian, who attribute their success to a plant-based lifestyle. It also includes insights from medical professionals and scientists, highlighting the potential health benefits of such diets. The film argues that plant-based diets can enhance athletic performance and promote better health outcomes, such as reducing inflammation and improving heart health. While it has been praised for its engaging narrative, The Game Changers has also faced criticism for its one-sided approach and reliance on anecdotal evidence. Despite these criticisms, the documentary has sparked significant interest in the benefits of plant-based eating for both athletes and the general public. With its impressive lineup of executive producers, including James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger, the film has become a notable voice in the vegan movement.
