You’ll also meet ultra-runner Yassine Diboun as he journeys miles into the wilderness, running from a past that deeply affected his family and nearly cost him his life.

Critic Reviews

“Yes, this is an excellent film to introduce people to veganism. It does explain “why vegan”. But more importantly, it demonstrates that there is no typical vegan. The days of smelly hippies eating nuts and granola while sitting in the corner weaving baskets and wearing Birkenstocks… are over (sniff sniff).” – Vegan Banana. Vegan Everyday Stories: A Bananatastic Review. 22 Jun 2016
