I Could Never Go Vegan (Italian version)
Regia: Thomas Pickering
Cast:
At Giunti Odeon an important documentary about our eating habits and the way we treat animals, and the effects this has on our planet and our care. Filmmaker Thomas Pickering has never eaten meat. Born in the 1980s and raised vegetarian, he later switched to a vegan diet. Tom has always believed in doing the right thing for animals, for his health and, more recently, for the planet. Despite this, not a day goes by without someone telling him ‘I could never go vegan’ From ‘where do you get your protein’ and ‘soya is destroying the rainforests’ to ‘vegan food is expensive’ and ‘climate change doesn't exist’, he has heard it all. So Tom decides to embark on a journey to investigate the many reasons he has heard over the years, to see if they are well-founded or if his upbringing has been one big plant-based scam. On his way, Tom meets several top athletes, witnessing world records, championship successes and an 84-year-old competing in his sixth ultramarathon. He talks to doctors, environmental scientists, psychologists and chefs. He follows investigative journalists and activists as they infiltrate intensive livestock farms, where he discovers that the A grade awarded to the UK for its farming practices is not what it seems...

Il Caffè Odeon di Firenze nasce da un incontro e da un sogno. L’incontro è quello con la casa editrice Giunti e col progetto sulla nuova vita da dare allo storico cinema Odeon di Firenze, come centro culturale polifunzionale. Il sogno era quello di poter avere uno spazio, aperto tutto il giorno come i grandi caffè mitteleuropei, in cui proporre piatti provenienti da diverse tradizioni gastronomiche, insieme ad una pasticceria altrettanto ricca e ad una caffetteria di grande qualità, senza trascurare bevande analcoliche sofisticate, vini e cocktail.Assaporare un cibo, bere un caffè fumante o sorseggiare un buon vino sono cose che hanno molto in comune con il leggere un libro o guardare un film: si tratta sempre di usare i nostri sensi per vivere delle storie, che ci riguardino direttamente o ci portino in altri mondi, ed è proprio questo che ha fatto sì che l’incontro permettesse al nostro sogno di avverarsi.
