Vegucated: Documentary Screening & Q&A with Star | Milpitas

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Watch the award-winning documentary, Vegucated, and stay for a talk with guest speaker Brian Flegel, featured in the film, at the Milpitas Library.

Free, but RSVP is appreciated.

Part sociological experiment, part science class, and part adventure story, Vegucated showcases the rapid, and at times comedic, evolution of three people who share one journey and ultimately discover their own paths in creating a kinder, cleaner, greener world, one bite at a time.

Vegucated is an award-winning, guerrilla-style documentary that follows three meat- and cheese-loving New Yorkers who agree to adopt a vegan diet for six weeks. There’s Brian Flegel, a bacon-loving, bartending bachelor from California who eats out most of the time and lives in Harlem. He thinks his German mother’s cooking is the best and jokes that vegans are from outer space. Ellen, the single mom who prefers comedy to cooking, and Tesla, the college student who avoids vegetables and bans beans. They have no idea that so much more than steak is at stake and that the fate of the world may fall on their plates. Before long, they find themselves risking everything to expose an industry they supported just weeks before.

But can their conviction carry them when times get tough? What about on family vacations fraught with skeptical step-dads, carnivorous cousins, and breakfast buffets?
