Eating Our Way to Extinction

Eating our way to extinction is a powerful cinematic feature documentary that opens the lid on an elephant in the room no one wants to talk about. Featuring world-renowned scientists and leaders including Sir Richard Branson, narrated by Kate Winslet, it also focuses on the people who are most affected by climate change, such as Indigenous populations in Brazil and South America.

The world is facing a variety of environmental problems, including climate change and ecosystem destruction. The new documentary, Eating Our Way to Extinction (narrated by Kate Winslet), reveals how our reliance on meat and dairy fuels the depletion of our planet's resources and puts us on the path to global disaster.

Originally from Reading, Berkshire, Winslet studied drama at Redroof's Theatre School and made her first screen appearance at age 15 in the British television series Dark Season (1991). She later starred in the film Heavenly Creatures (1994) as a teenage murderess. After winning a BAFTA Award for her performance in Sense and Sensibility (1995), Winslet starred in the record-breaking blockbuster Titanic (1997), a role that catapulted her to international stardom.

After Titanic, Winslet eschewed her usual lead roles in favor of more challenging roles. She teamed up with Leonardo DiCaprio in Revolutionary Road (2008), playing a struggling 1950s married couple who try to buck the conventions of their society. She also starred in The Reader (2008), in which she played a former Nazi concentration camp guard who, when the war is over, becomes an illiterate writer.

In addition to her acting career, Winslet is an advocate for autism awareness. She is a co-founder of the Golden Hat Foundation, which aims to create autism awareness. She has also written a book on the subject.

She has received eight Academy Awards nominations and seven Golden Globe Awards for her work in films, and was named the Best Actress of the Year by several media organizations. Her roles have spanned genres and have included everything from science fiction to historical drama to comedies.

Since her success in Titanic, she has continued to star in critically acclaimed independent films. She has starred in such movies as Quills (2000), The Reader (2008) and Iris (2001).

When she was just starting out on the film scene, Winslet starred in a series of romantic comedy hits, including Shakespeare in Love (1998) and Anna and the King (1999), and she even appeared with Christopher Eccleston in Jude, a modern interpretation of Thomas Hardy's classic novel. But it was her role as Marianne Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility that really propelled her career.

2. Listen to the voice of the scientists

It is not an easy task to get people to change their eating habits, especially when the message is one of sustainability and conservation. The good news is that a plant-based diet has a lot of benefits for the planet and your wallet. The bad news is that it is still hard to get everyone on board.

Thankfully, a new film, narrated by Academy Award-winner Kate Winslet, has tapped the big fish in this department to do the heavy lifting. Directed by the sibling duo of Otto and Ludo Brockway, Eating Our way to extinction takes viewers on a visually engaging journey through the world's most biodiverse regions to prove that it is possible to consume delicious food without destroying our planet. It features some of the biggest names in global business and science, as well as an array of impressive looking critters (see above).

The best part is that it is all free to watch, thanks to the fine folks at Ecosia. It's available for free on the company's YouTube channel. The video is a one-hour, twenty-minute odyssey that is sure to leave you feeling good about the future of your planet.

3. Listen to the voice of the people

Eating our way to extinction is a powerful film that explores the destructive nature of our diet and how it affects the planet. Directed by Otto and Ludo Brockway, it features many famous names including Kate Winslet, philanthropist Tony Robbins, Virgin Group founder Richard Branson, plant-based physician Dr. Michael Greger and others.

The film features a number of eye-catching visuals that are sure to make you stop and think about your own food choices. It also highlights some of the most important facts about animal agriculture and its impact on climate change, including that it’s the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions.

But the most inspiring part of the movie is that it also includes interviews with Indigenous people in Brazil and South America, who are disproportionately affected by the climate crisis. These people are largely ignored by mainstream media, which is why it’s so important to include their voices in the film.

It’s not easy to convince people to make changes to their lifestyle – especially when it comes to their diets, so the inclusion of these voices in the film should be a huge boost for its message and help a lot of people take the first step toward changing their habits. The documentary even features a study by Oxford University that shows that adopting a plant-based diet can be one of the most effective ways to protect the environment. If you want to watch the movie for free, it’s available on Plant Based News’ YouTube channel.

4. Listen to the voice of the animals

As a result of global warming, fires are raging, ecosystems are being destroyed, and thousands of species are going extinct. Eating our way to extinction is a hard-hitting climate documentary that brings to light the devastation that animal agriculture has caused in various parts of the world, including the Amazon rainforest, Mongolian desert, Taiwanese mountains, and Dust Bowl.

The film is narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Kate Winslet, and the production company behind it is backed by Virgin Group founder Richard Branson and philanthropist Tony Robbins. It also features a variety of prominent scientists who give voice to the distressing facts, and is framed around people who have been most affected by these environmental problems.

Eating our way to extinction is an 81-minute documentary that is releasing in select cinemas on September 16, and is directed by brother-brother duo Otto and Ludo Brockway. The film tackles animal agriculture, its connection to fossil fuel dependence and the climate crisis, as well as how dietary choices can impact these issues.

Ultimately, it is an engaging film that flits from one topic to the next, making the case that a vegan diet can be effective at combatting environmental problems. However, it never really offers workable solutions to help create social opinion change at scale or reaches a cohesive vision that is potent enough to win over skeptics.
