Vegan movies for the whole family

There are many vegan documentaries. But finding vegan feature films for the whole family is not that easy. We at Vegusto have been vegan for decades in some cases and have therefore put together what we think are the best vegan feature films for the whole family. For example, vegan feature films tell stories of animals that are not exploited or that manage to escape (with a happy ending). Films that should not be missing from any movie collection.

Okja (2017)

our rating: 

Author: Bong Joon-ho

Runtime: 120 min

FSK: 12

A young girl fights to save her genetically modified super pig from a powerful corporation – a thought-provoking tale about the meat industry, friendship, and responsibility. A film that skilfully packs the reality of the slaughterhouse and the cynicism of the meat industry into a fast-paced economic thriller. Impressive and yet paralysing. Be sure to wait until after the end credits. We recommend the film from the age of 16.
