  • Vegetarian Food For Thought

    Despite the name, a vegan show. Despite host Colleen Patrick-Goudreau's background as a chef, heavier on theory and its application to daily living than on cooking. Very warm, inclusive and approachable, without ever losing her hardline vegan focus.

  • Peaceable Kingdom: The Journey Home

    A revised version of the film is in progress. The filmmakers have shot new original footage and altered the film to give it a clearer abolitionist message. The original version was already quite good, so this will likely be well worth checking out.
