Critic Reviews

“Although this movie has many, the biggest strength of From the Ground Up lies in its ability to engage a broad audience of vegans and non-vegans alike. The tone of the movie is humble and informative rather than inflammatory and controversial, even subtly offering tips for effective vegan activism…Each person who watches this movie is bound to learn something thanks to the variety of topics covered (even vegan-documentary aficionados like yours truly).” – Rebecca Marchand-Smith.
