A gentle call for a cease-fire at the table, with inspiring stories of how a diet change can help the planet, animals and human health. This documentary enters the lobbies of the European Parliament, visits animal sanctuaries in the North and Center of Portugal, talks to environmental expert George Monbiot in the UK, and travels to Lebanon, where a private hospital is changing the lives of their patients through veganism. Because change is urgent and still within our reach.
