Documentaries and farm animals

Abstract

Documentaries have played a crucial role in raising awareness about factory farming and promoting plant-based diets. In recent years, there has been a surge in the number of documentaries produced on these topics, with some, such as The Game Changers, garnering significant attention. However, despite their potential impact, many documentaries struggle to reach a wide audience. Our research indicates that only a handful of farm animal or vegan documentaries are available on major streaming platforms, and most have relatively low viewership. Additionally, while the resources invested in documentaries can be substantial, the success of a documentary is often unpredictable. Therefore, while documentaries can be a valuable tool for advocacy, it is important to consider the factors that influence their success and to allocate resources strategically. – AI-generated abstract.
