Dartmouth Films has announced the eagerly awaited release of “I Could Never Go Vegan,” a thought-provoking documentary slated to hit screens across the UK and Ireland on April 19th, 2024. Directed by Thomas Pickering and boasting executive producers such as the renowned actress and vegan advocate Alicia Silverstone, the film promises to dissect the myriad objections surrounding veganism, offering a comprehensive exploration of the subject.

Despite the growing popularity of veganism, the documentary aims to unravel the reasons behind widespread hesitancy toward embracing a plant-based lifestyle. With a diverse cast of contributors ranging from powerlifting champion Sophia Ellis to environmental activist George Monbiot and health professionals like Dr. Shireen Kassam, Dr. Gemma Newman, and Gastroenterologist Alan Desmond, the film presents a multifaceted examination of the issues at hand. Voices from various sectors, including The Happy Pear food professionals and individuals working within slaughterhouses, are also featured, enriching the narrative with a spectrum of perspectives.

“I Could Never Go Vegan” seeks to offer a balanced and enlightening portrayal of the impacts of animal agriculture on health, animal welfare, and the environment. Through its educational yet non-confrontational approach, the documentary aims to challenge misconceptions and prompt viewers to reconsider their preconceived notions.

Director Thomas Pickering explained the motivation behind the film, stating, “I Could Never Go Vegan is truly a film for anyone who has ever heard or said these words.” He expressed his desire to delve into the reasons behind the reluctance to embrace veganism and to assess the validity of the arguments against it.

Executive Producer Alicia Silverstone echoed Pickering’s sentiments, describing the documentary as “the vegan documentary we’ve all been waiting for.” With its premiere scheduled for April 10th in London, hosted by actor and Animal rights activist Peter Egan, known for his role in Downton Abbey, anticipation is building for a film that promises to challenge perceptions and ignite conversations.
