UnchainedTV: Why The New Movie Christspiracy Could Change Everything! · UNCHAINEDTV'S Truth Files with Jane Velez-Mitchell

• 0:00
  Now, here's your host, Jane Velez Mitchell.
• 0:03
  We have an extraordinary, absolutely extraordinary guest for
• 0:08
  you today, Kip Anderson, famed filmmaker, and he
• 0:13
  has come out with this extraordinary new movie.
• 0:16
  It gives me chills just to talk about
• 0:19
  it, Christ Spiracy.
• 0:21
  Everybody on the planet needs to see this
• 0:25
  film.
• 0:26
  It started when this man, Cam Waters, stood
• 0:30
  up and asked Kip a question when he
• 0:33
  was in a public forum, and that question
• 0:35
  was very simple.
• 0:36
  They say there's no dumb questions, but this
• 0:38
  one is perhaps the best question ever asked
• 0:41
  of anyone.
• 0:42
  How would Jesus kill an animal for food?
• 0:48
  Wow, that sparked a journey of discovery that
• 0:52
  resulted in Christ Spiracy, the biggest cover-up
• 0:55
  in 2,000 years.
• 0:58
  And this movie is extraordinary.
• 1:00
  It's the documentary they don't want you to
• 1:03
  see.
• 1:03
  We're gonna find out who they is.
• 1:05
  Kip Anderson is here to talk to us.
• 1:07
  First, let's hear just a little sizzle of
• 1:10
  what this is about, and then we're gonna
• 1:12
  talk to the man himself.
• 1:17
  Hi, I'm Kip, the co-creator of Cowspiracy,
• 1:20
  What the Health?, and Seaspiracy.
• 1:21
  And I'm Cam, and we're co-directors of
• 1:24
  the biggest and boldest chapter in the series
• 1:26
  yet, Christ Spiracy.
• 1:27
  This film, five years in the making, is
• 1:30
  the closest and dearest to me because it's
• 1:32
  the final piece of the puzzle.
• 1:34
  Whereas our previous films focused on the environment
• 1:36
  and health, this one dives deep into the
• 1:39
  spiritual and ethical aspects of our relationship with
• 1:41
  animals in a way never seen before.
• 1:44
  Cam's question led us on a global exploration
• 1:47
  asking, is there a spiritual or ethical way
• 1:49
  to kill animals for food?
• 1:51
  From Christians to Muslims, Hindus, yogis, and Buddhists,
• 1:55
  including the Dalai Lama, to looking for answers
• 1:58
  at happy regenerative farms and spiritual hunting clubs,
• 2:01
  to exploring the psychological, philosophical, and social justice
• 2:05
  impact of raising and killing the same amount
• 2:08
  of animals as 10 times the entire human
• 2:11
  population every single year.
• 2:14
  Wow, the documentary they don't want you to
• 2:18
  see, and now you will see the one
• 2:21
  and only Kip Anderson.
• 2:24
  Bravo, that's all I can say.
• 2:26
  Yet again, you have topped yourself, which is
• 2:30
  a really tough thing to do when you've
• 2:32
  already brought us Cowspiracy, Seaspiracy, and What the
• 2:35
  Health.
• 2:36
  Why, in your words, does every single person
• 2:38
  on this planet need to see this movie?
• 2:41
  Oh, wow.
• 2:42
  There's a bunch of different answers for that.
• 2:44
  One is that if you've seen the other
• 2:46
  films, it is the missing chapter.
• 2:48
  And for me, I feel the ethical side
• 2:51
  of the three pillars of the environmental impacts,
• 2:53
  the health impacts, and the ethical impacts of
• 2:56
  raising and killing, raising and killing and then
• 3:00
  consuming 70 billion animals, land animals per year,
• 3:03
  not even counting fish, what impact that has
• 3:06
  on our moral fabric and our ethical fabric
• 3:08
  of the domino effect of what it trickles
• 3:11
  down to in our entire society, us being
• 3:13
  human beings.
• 3:15
  So I just feel it's so important, so
• 3:18
  important to watch, particularly at this time in
• 3:21
  history, with how much disconnect there is and
• 3:24
  things of, I guess disconnect is the best
• 3:29
  word.
• 3:30
  This film challenges a lot of narratives of
• 3:33
  the relationship with animals and spirituality and religion.
• 3:37
  But at the end of the day, one
• 3:38
  of the biggest reveals is that all these
• 3:40
  different spiritualities and religions all share one central
• 3:43
  same theme.
• 3:44
  So at the core root of this, we
• 3:46
  are all the same, we are all one.
• 3:48
  And I feel that's such an important message
• 3:49
  at this time.
• 3:52
  I watched it in a preview, I was
• 3:54
  blown away, a spine tingling is how I
• 3:57
  would describe it.
• 3:58
  Shocking, everybody needs to see it.
• 4:00
  Unchained TV has gotten 10 tickets for the
• 4:03
  first 10 callers to get the ball rolling.
• 4:05
  We are picking a Los Angeles, there's 600
• 4:09
  theatres are showing this film.
• 4:10
  So whatever you do, go to chrisspiracy.com
• 4:14
  and get your ticket now before they're sold
• 4:16
  out.
• 4:16
  The entire world is buzzing about this.
• 4:19
  But for our part, we're starting out with
• 4:21
  10 tickets to the first 10 callers for
• 4:24
  a screening at Century City AMC at the
• 4:27
  Century City Westfield Mall on Wednesday, March 20th
• 4:31
  at 7.30 PM.
• 4:33
  We might even meet for a vegan dinner
• 4:35
  beforehand.
• 4:37
  So I urge everybody who wants to get
• 4:40
  their free ticket to please give us a
• 4:43
  call right now.
• 4:44
  And the call in number is 866-472
• 4:46
  -5788.
• 4:48
  Let's see what we got here.
• 4:49
  We've got a caller, Michael in Los Angeles,
• 4:51
  your question or thought?
• 4:56
  Michael?
• 4:59
  Can you hear me?
• 5:00
  Yes, go ahead.
• 5:02
  Okay, sorry.
• 5:04
  Yeah, I'm really excited about this movie.
• 5:07
  I can't remember when I've been so, you
• 5:10
  know, anticipating a movie this much.
• 5:12
  And my question really quickly is, have you
• 5:14
  shown this movie to anybody in the religious
• 5:16
  community and what was your reaction?
• 5:18
  Thank you.
• 5:19
  But first of all, do you want your
• 5:20
  free ticket, Michael?
• 5:22
  Oh yeah, yes, yes.
• 5:25
  Okay, I'm gonna check you off, Michael.
• 5:27
  You've gotten a free ticket.
• 5:28
  What's your answer to that?
• 5:30
  Yes, absolutely, Kip.
• 5:31
  I think we're all wondering on pins and
• 5:33
  needles the reaction in the religious community.
• 5:36
  That's a great question.
• 5:37
  It's been exciting because now it's been seven
• 5:39
  years, but we've been in this, making this
• 5:41
  film the time really before showing it to
• 5:44
  anyone for about five years in the making.
• 5:46
  And so once we finally started doing some
• 5:48
  pre-screenings, you know, you're just so caught
• 5:50
  up in the, we've seen this film a
• 5:52
  thousand times.
• 5:53
  We don't really know how other people are
• 5:55
  gonna view it.
• 5:55
  We have an idea, but until other people
• 5:57
  watch it and give us feedback, that's when
• 5:59
  we really get the notion of what we've
• 6:02
  got, what we've got in our hands.
• 6:03
  And it's been so, we're so grateful because
• 6:07
  once we started showing this to people in
• 6:08
  different religious communities, not only Christians, but Buddhists,
• 6:13
  some yogis, Hindus, and even some Muslims have
• 6:16
  seen the film.
• 6:17
  They all love it.
• 6:18
  And the best thing is even atheists.
• 6:21
  Atheists love the film.
• 6:22
  So it's definitely, even though it's called Christ
• 6:24
  Spirits, it branches way out beyond just the
• 6:27
  religious thread line of the film.
• 6:29
  We go into sociological impacts and all these
• 6:32
  other things that was mentioned in that sizzle
• 6:34
  reel, but it's been incredibly well-received.
• 6:38
  And with the Christian community, everything what's really
• 6:40
  stoked about it is everything from the conservative
• 6:42
  hardcore Christians to the very liberal.
• 6:46
  More, much to our surprise, because we thought
• 6:49
  there'd be quite a lot of feedback, but
• 6:51
  I, fight back actually after they watched the
• 6:55
  film.
• 6:55
  But I think what happens is the name
• 6:57
  is triggering and they think it's gonna be
• 6:59
  debunking or bashing Christianity.
• 7:01
  And they're so pleasantly surprised.
• 7:03
  We're like, wow, this film reveals the true
• 7:06
  nature of what Christianity is and these different
• 7:09
  religions at its core.
• 7:11
  And it's such a beautiful, such a beautiful
• 7:13
  reveal.
• 7:14
  And it's yes, very, very challenging to some
• 7:16
  people who have some very strong face in
• 7:19
  the history of, especially growing up Christian.
• 7:22
  But at the end of it, we've had
• 7:24
  incredible feedback from the religious community.
• 7:28
  Wow, we've got, oh boy, they're lining up.
• 7:30
  Everybody wants to get their free ticket.
• 7:32
  Paige in Los Angeles, your question, your thought.
• 7:34
  And do you want a free ticket?
• 7:37
  Definitely a free ticket.
• 7:38
  I want to bring my husband who's great
• 7:41
  Catholic.
• 7:42
  Okay, thank you.
• 7:44
  I'll take it.
• 7:45
  So here's what my question, since I have
• 7:47
  seen the film, it's epic.
• 7:49
  Definitely run out and get your ticket y
• 7:51
  'all and bring your friends and family, pre
• 7:53
  -vegans, vegans, everybody.
• 7:54
  Here's my question.
• 7:56
  How do we, how do we promote this
• 7:59
  and share with people without giving away, you
• 8:02
  know, the ending?
• 8:04
  Yeah.
• 8:04
  Thank you so much.
• 8:06
  That's a good question.
• 8:07
  So I guess the one thing is like
• 8:09
  you, is you said you're, just by even
• 8:11
  saying that without giving away the ending, now
• 8:14
  I'm excited.
• 8:14
  What is the ending?
• 8:15
  Just this like sharing the film.
• 8:17
  That's incredible.
• 8:18
  You love it.
• 8:19
  And you're not going to believe what you
• 8:20
  find out.
• 8:21
  This is going to transform.
• 8:22
  I mean, it really is going to transform.
• 8:24
  I feel, we feel the narrative, you know,
• 8:27
  what it means to be Christian.
• 8:28
  You know, the other films are what does
• 8:30
  it mean to be an environmentalist?
• 8:32
  What does it mean to be truly, really
• 8:33
  healthy where it's mind, body, spirit, and the
• 8:35
  other films.
• 8:35
  This one is what does it mean to
• 8:37
  be a Christian?
• 8:38
  Can I be a Christian and eat animals?
• 8:40
  If I find out what I do in
• 8:43
  this film, I align with that.
• 8:45
  So I think the main thing is just
• 8:47
  get people really excited.
• 8:48
  Just like, wow, you are not going to
• 8:49
  believe what this film reveals.
• 8:52
  It truly is.
• 8:53
  When we say it's a 2000 year cover
• 8:54
  up or one of the biggest, you know,
• 8:57
  it's true.
• 8:58
  I mean, it's going to be a very
• 8:59
  transformative film that this film is just the
• 9:02
  beginning.
• 9:03
  It's the seed of the conversation and the
• 9:05
  theological world of discussing what we found in
• 9:08
  this film, but it's a huge one.
• 9:11
  Wow.
• 9:11
  Well, I want to play, we got so
• 9:13
  many callers lined up, but I want to
• 9:15
  play another clip.
• 9:16
  The clips, the sizzles, let me say, the
• 9:20
  trailers, they're so, again, spine tingling.
• 9:24
  I hate to use the same word over
• 9:26
  and over again, but it really, they play
• 9:28
  like a thriller.
• 9:29
  This entire movie plays like a thriller.
• 9:31
  Is there any threat or danger making a
• 9:35
  film like this?
• 9:37
  Yeah.
• 9:37
  You just wait and see.
• 9:40
  You just wait and see.
• 9:46
  I have no idea of the far reach
• 9:48
  or the long reach or anything.
• 9:54
  They will stop at nothing to keep this
• 9:58
  truth in the dark.
• 10:07
  Is there a spiritual way to kill an
• 10:09
  animal?
• 10:11
  I'll put it this way.
• 10:12
  How would Jesus kill an animal?
• 10:16
  Is there a peaceful way to kill an
• 10:17
  animal?
• 10:23
  Whoa, just amazing.
• 10:25
  And we're going to talk about the dangers
• 10:28
  in a second, but we got to get
• 10:29
  through some of these callers.
• 10:30
  Arwen in Florida, your question, your thought.
• 10:32
  For Tiff Anderson.
• 10:35
  Hi, can you hear me okay?
• 10:37
  Yep.
• 10:39
  Awesome, yeah, so I saw the premiere on
• 10:43
  the online screening and I'm agnostic and I
• 10:47
  was on the edge of my seat the
• 10:49
  entire time.
• 10:50
  I mean, I was getting chill bumps all
• 10:53
  over myself because of the, you know, just
• 10:57
  intenseness of this movie.
• 11:01
  So I'm definitely going to see it in
• 11:03
  theatres as well.
• 11:04
  And I'm hoping that, I've invited some people
• 11:07
  that I work with who are not vegan.
• 11:09
  So I really want to get them to
• 11:11
  go with me.
• 11:13
  Well, fantastic, I'd offer you a ticket myself,
• 11:15
  but you're in Florida, get your tickets, everybody.
• 11:18
  It's hitting 600 theatres on Wednesday, March 20th
• 11:22
  and Sunday, I believe March 24th, March 20th
• 11:25
  and March 24th.
• 11:27
  It's so easy, okay?
• 11:28
  I just bought 10 tickets right before the
• 11:30
  show, chryspiracy.com, just go to chryspiracy.com
• 11:34
  and you can get your tickets immediately.
• 11:38
  So let's keep moving on with the callers.
• 11:41
  We've got Annie in Sherman Oaks, your question,
• 11:44
  your thought and do you want a free
• 11:45
  ticket?
• 11:47
  Oh my gosh, yes, I do, I do,
• 11:49
  I do.
• 11:50
  I love your work, Kip, and thank you,
• 11:53
  Jane, you're amazing.
• 11:55
  Kip, I love what the health and chryspiracy,
• 12:00
  I always recommend every day, every day.
• 12:02
  I want to know how is it related
• 12:05
  to the religious in the sense that we
• 12:10
  had the, what was it?
• 12:12
  The name, a prayer for compassion.
• 12:15
  Is it similar to that?
• 12:17
  But what I also want to say about
• 12:20
  you is I so appreciate you always exploding
• 12:23
  the truth.
• 12:24
  You're amazing, you're not afraid to go there.
• 12:26
  And I love that about you.
• 12:28
  Thank you, Annie, great points.
• 12:31
  We do have a prayer for compassion streaming
• 12:33
  on Unchained TV, it's very different.
• 12:36
  I can answer that question.
• 12:37
  That's really just an incredible film, but a
• 12:40
  father and a daughter going out.
• 12:42
  This is like, almost like a crime documentary
• 12:48
  because it's like an investigative team going out.
• 12:53
  And I do want to find out how
• 12:55
  you really move forward on this documentary once
• 12:59
  you had that question asked for you but
• 13:01
  boy, let's get through.
• 13:03
  Pam in Los Angeles, your question or thought
• 13:05
  for Kip.
• 13:06
  And do you want a free ticket?
• 13:08
  Oh, yes, and I want, and Dale wants
• 13:11
  to come too, but he can buy one
• 13:13
  if you don't have a free one for
• 13:16
  him.
• 13:16
  One free for you and you can bring
• 13:18
  Dale, go ahead.
• 13:21
  Okay, I just want to say I am
• 13:23
  looking so forward to seeing this just because
• 13:25
  I love all your other films and man,
• 13:30
  just for activism.
• 13:32
  Yeah, I'm really looking forward to see this.
• 13:34
  So I'm looking forward to it.
• 13:36
  That's all I want to say.
• 13:38
  I just can't wait to go and want
• 13:40
  to go with all of you.
• 13:41
  Thank you so much.
• 13:43
  I'll just say to Jane on the phone.
• 13:45
  Yeah, some people describe it's like Raiders of
• 13:46
  the Lost Ark meets Da Vinci Code meets
• 13:49
  Cowspiracy.
• 13:49
  It's kind of like a combo of really
• 13:52
  around the world adventure exploration and diving deep
• 13:55
  into these unforeseen truths that you'll find out.
• 14:01
  That's a good way of putting it.
• 14:02
  And I urge everybody, when you get a
• 14:04
  ticket get a second ticket and bring somebody
• 14:06
  who may not know anything about Cowspiracy or
• 14:09
  C-spiracy or what the hell or C
• 14:11
  -spiracy.
• 14:11
  Let's get some new fresh eyeballs on this
• 14:14
  as well.
• 14:15
  All right, next caller, Karen in Venice, California.
• 14:21
  Hi there.
• 14:22
  Thank you.
• 14:23
  Yes, of course, I definitely want a free
• 14:24
  ticket if you can hear me.
• 14:26
  Can you hear me?
• 14:27
  Yep.
• 14:28
  Okay.
• 14:29
  Thank you so much for all that you
• 14:31
  do, by the way.
• 14:32
  I'm so excited to see the film and
• 14:34
  I'm excited to bring my Christian non-vegan
• 14:38
  friends.
• 14:39
  Now I'm Jewish and I'm wondering, you know
• 14:44
  and I have an aunt who's a rabbi,
• 14:45
  as a matter of fact who's not vegan.
• 14:47
  I'd love to bring them also.
• 14:49
  Any insight as to the Jewish end of
• 14:53
  things?
• 14:54
  Yes, actually, we go to Israel a few
• 14:57
  times because we go to Jerusalem and I
• 15:01
  don't want to give too much away, but
• 15:03
  we interview some rabbis.
• 15:04
  We interview one rabbi who has killed, I
• 15:06
  think he said over 1 million animals done
• 15:09
  the kosher way.
• 15:09
  And now, I mean, I'm giving a little
• 15:12
  bit of away.
• 15:13
  He's actually vegan now.
• 15:15
  And so what we do is we will
• 15:17
  go undercover into a kosher farm.
• 15:23
  We talked to an undercover kosher slaughterhouse worker
• 15:27
  who went undercover and did a filming in
• 15:29
  that.
• 15:29
  And we just, we show how kosher is
• 15:31
  done in an animation.
• 15:33
  It's not gory, but we should show how
• 15:34
  bizarre it is.
• 15:35
  And also a halal as well.
• 15:38
  So we definitely explore that.
• 15:39
  Other than that, we show the connection of
• 15:41
  what happened 2000 years ago in the temple.
• 15:45
  And that's the link as well.
• 15:47
  So definitely bring your rabbi's friend for sure.
• 15:51
  It'll be an interesting conversation ever after of
• 15:54
  what he feels kosher is.
• 15:55
  You think kosher or halal is that much
• 15:58
  better?
• 15:59
  You definitely want to do some more research
• 16:01
  on that.
• 16:02
  And I know when I go, I say
• 16:04
  I'm kosher, although I'm not Jewish, but if
• 16:07
  you're vegan, you're kosher.
• 16:09
  So there you go.

• 16:32
  Oh, right, the next caller, Lindsay in Woodland
• 16:35
  Hills.
• 16:36
  Your question or thought for Kip Anderson, the
• 16:38
  filmmaker.
• 16:40
  I just, thank you, Jane.
• 16:41
  I just wanted to say to you, Kip,
• 16:44
  that I am so thrilled to meet you.
• 16:48
  I used the film, What the Health?
• 16:51
  to introduce my non-vegan friends to veganism,
• 16:54
  particularly those that have health issues.
• 16:56
  And I'm really excited to see this film
• 16:59
  because my background is Christian and I've moved
• 17:02
  through my spirituality to come to the conclusion
• 17:05
  that the golden rule applies to all religions,
• 17:09
  do unto others as you would have others
• 17:10
  do unto you.
• 17:12
  And I can't wait to see the film.
• 17:14
  And I know it's gonna give me lots
• 17:15
  more ambition and things to say.
• 17:17
  So thank you, thank you, thank you.
• 17:19
  And I'd love a ticket.
• 17:22
  Thank you so much.
• 17:23
  I'll just point out that, you know, do
• 17:24
  unto others.
• 17:25
  It doesn't say do unto other humans.
• 17:27
  It says do unto others.
• 17:28
  And that's a little secret too about we
• 17:30
  go into the film of thou shall not
• 17:32
  kill and these things that are part of
• 17:34
  the commandments and the tenets of all the
• 17:38
  different religions.
• 17:39
  They don't specifically say just humans.
• 17:42
  They just, they leave that out.
• 17:44
  So does that mean all beings, all sentient
• 17:47
  beings?
• 17:47
  So something to think about.
• 17:50
  All right, our next caller.
• 17:53
  Kim, Santa Monica, your question or thought, and
• 17:55
  do you want a free ticket?
• 17:56
  You're in Santa Monica.
• 17:58
  Hey, yes, of course, I'd love one.
• 18:01
  And I want to say I had the
• 18:02
  pleasure of meeting you, Kim, a few years
• 18:04
  back in Beverly Hills, another wonderful premiere of
• 18:07
  a movie.
• 18:08
  And thank you so much for all you
• 18:09
  do.
• 18:09
  Keep up the great work.
• 18:11
  Thank you both.
• 18:13
  And yes, I'd love a ticket.
• 18:14
  I can't wait to see it.
• 18:15
  I've heard a lot about it.
• 18:16
  Thank you.
• 18:17
  All right, terrific.
• 18:18
  And we're gonna go to Lance in Venice
• 18:20
  Beach.
• 18:21
  Your question or thought, and do you want
• 18:23
  a free ticket?
• 18:25
  Woo, what's up?
• 18:26
  I would love a ticket.
• 18:29
  Though that line is busy.
• 18:31
  I've been calling for 20 minutes trying to
• 18:33
  get through.
• 18:33
  So I am super excited.
• 18:35
  The buzz is already here.
• 18:37
  My question is, so I come from a
• 18:40
  more spiritual lens and less religious.
• 18:44
  But what's crazy is after watching the film
• 18:48
  and seeing the big reveal and shocker at
• 18:51
  the end, it actually opened up my eyes
• 18:54
  to exploring religion and faith.
• 18:57
  Is that a common response that you have
• 19:00
  gotten from people?
• 19:01
  You know, that's a beautiful question because know
• 19:03
  what happened, that happened to me.
• 19:05
  I went in this with zero, I was
• 19:08
  a clean slate on.
• 19:09
  I did not grow up going to church.
• 19:11
  My background on both parents was Mormon, but
• 19:13
  my dad was a rebel.
• 19:14
  At 18, when he was supposed to go
• 19:16
  on a mission, he decided to be a
• 19:17
  bartender instead.
• 19:18
  So I grew up with a clean slate
• 19:20
  to the point that we're up in just
• 19:22
  a few years ago, not knowing if even
• 19:24
  Jesus was a real person, being interested in
• 19:27
  religion, but not really going deep in the
• 19:28
  historical, the historical documentation of how they started,
• 19:34
  who started it.
• 19:35
  And it was surprised to learn that Jesus
• 19:37
  was a real historical figure that's documented what
• 19:40
  happened.
• 19:40
  He was crucified.
• 19:41
  There was something that specifically happened four days
• 19:43
  earlier.
• 19:44
  And then learning about these groups and then
• 19:46
  just being so incredibly inspired by these groups
• 19:50
  and then seeing how they're connected to Buddha
• 19:53
  and they're connected to Pythagoras.
• 19:57
  And now there's this lineage and it's like,
• 19:59
  wow, this is incredible.
• 20:00
  I think what happens with religion is they
• 20:02
  get blurred.
• 20:03
  Books have been burned.
• 20:05
  New narratives have been erased and written new
• 20:08
  things to support the narrative of the times
• 20:14
  of what they want.
• 20:15
  But when you peel away the leather, the
• 20:16
  leather, definitely do that.
• 20:20
  You peel away the layers, you see something
• 20:23
  that's just gorgeous and beautiful and authentic and
• 20:25
  pure at the core of all the different
• 20:28
  religions.
• 20:29
  So I feel you.
• 20:31
  And we've gotten that a lot from people,
• 20:33
  even like by people who are atheists.
• 20:35
  It's like, wow, I never thought I'd have
• 20:36
  a connection to Jesus because it's usually, ah,
• 20:40
  Jesus, Christianity.
• 20:41
  And then we bring it down to a
• 20:42
  level of really relatability in a really inspiring
• 20:46
  way of someone who's just an amazing, amazing
• 20:50
  inspiration.
• 20:52
  Be careful with my words, but.
• 20:55
  Wow.
• 20:55
  Well, again, it was very inspiring to me
• 20:58
  and I know it's gonna be inspiring to
• 21:00
  everyone.
• 21:00
  Tiffany in Los Angeles, do you want a
• 21:02
  free ticket?
• 21:03
  What's your question or thought?
• 21:05
  Yes, I would love, I'm so excited.
• 21:07
  I can't stand it.
• 21:08
  Thank you for making what sounds like another
• 21:11
  amazing film.
• 21:12
  And I was wondering, I'm very excited it's
• 21:15
  being released in the theatres.
• 21:17
  Was there a reason why you didn't go
• 21:19
  with Netflix this time or that will be
• 21:21
  later?
• 21:23
  Yeah, we've mentioned a lot of that if
• 21:25
  you watch the Kickstarter and a lot of
• 21:26
  stories, but yeah, for people who don't know,
• 21:28
  this was along with Seaspiracy, it was at
• 21:31
  the same time, it was supposed to be
• 21:33
  an original.
• 21:35
  And as we got further into telling these,
• 21:37
  originally the film title was actually Cal Spiritual
• 21:41
  and it's a film on ethics.
• 21:43
  But as we got deeper into this story
• 21:44
  and Jesus, the narrative story of uncovering these
• 21:47
  things is like, wow, we had to go
• 21:50
  deeper into that thread line of that particular
• 21:52
  story of Jesus and the Nazarene movement at
• 21:57
  the time.
• 21:58
  And anyway, as we started getting deeper that
• 22:00
  way, they felt like they wanted to go
• 22:03
  a different way than we wanted to go.
• 22:05
  And there were some key things that they
• 22:08
  wanted to take out and we just wouldn't,
• 22:10
  and we just wouldn't budge.
• 22:11
  And we just, as they wanted to go
• 22:13
  one way, we went deeper into the way
• 22:15
  we were going to the point where it's
• 22:17
  like, okay, we're not budging.
• 22:19
  We have to do this another way.
• 22:22
  And I have a lot of respect for
• 22:23
  Netflix.
• 22:24
  It was a challenging thing that we had
• 22:25
  to both go through, but we felt we
• 22:27
  had to honour the film into its purest
• 22:31
  form and strongest, to create the strongest impact
• 22:35
  and to tell the entire story.
• 22:38
  So at the time we didn't know what
• 22:39
  plan B, but now we all realise what
• 22:42
  an amazing decision that was, because now we'll
• 22:45
  be able to go in theatres and we're
• 22:47
  going to be able to release all the
• 22:49
  extra footage.
• 22:50
  We have so much extra footage that didn't
• 22:52
  make it in the film that they would
• 22:54
  have ended up keeping.
• 22:55
  So now we're going to be able to
• 22:56
  release all the footage when we release it
• 22:58
  online and all these other small clips.
• 23:01
  You know, a lot of people don't realise
• 23:02
  when you edit a movie, the first edits
• 23:04
  around three and a half, four hours.
• 23:06
  And that four hours is like, how do
• 23:08
  we even get this down?
• 23:09
  So now we'll be able to release all
• 23:11
  this extra footage.
• 23:12
  And then we're also doing a pay it
• 23:13
  forward campaign when we release it online.
• 23:17
  So no matter if you have money or
• 23:19
  not, a Netflix subscription, everyone in the world
• 23:22
  will be able to watch this film, whether
• 23:24
  you have one penny to your name or
• 23:26
  not.
• 23:26
  And that's really exciting too, to have the
• 23:29
  most people be able to watch this.
• 23:32
  Fantastic.
• 23:33
  Melanie in Garden Grove, do you want a
• 23:35
  free ticket to our LA group going to
• 23:40
  Century AMC?
• 23:42
  And what's your question?
• 23:44
  Yes, I would love a free ticket and
• 23:46
  a free ticket for my non-vegan friend
• 23:49
  as well, who's also a Christian.
• 23:53
  Thank you so much for doing this film.
• 23:54
  And Melanie, can I get your last name
• 23:55
  so that I can add you onto the
• 23:57
  list here?
• 23:59
  Yes, Shaw, S-H-I-W.
• 24:01
  Okay, and just DM us on Shane TV
• 24:04
  Instagram and we'll get that ticket out to
• 24:06
  you and coordinate with you.
• 24:07
  Go ahead.
• 24:09
  Thank you so much for doing this film.
• 24:11
  I am a vegan Christian and I go
• 24:13
  to church.
• 24:14
  And what I've noticed within the church is
• 24:16
  there's a major disconnect and speciesism.
• 24:21
  And I think if they could just make
• 24:22
  that connection and feel for these animals, like
• 24:25
  they do the dogs and the cats, that
• 24:27
  they would have a different perception.
• 24:29
  And I hope that a lot of preachers
• 24:32
  and churches do see this film.
• 24:34
  So I think it'd be very eye-opening
• 24:36
  for them.
• 24:37
  And also from my research, I found that
• 24:40
  the disciples were vegetarian and did live that
• 24:44
  lifestyle.
• 24:45
  So thank you for doing this film.
• 24:48
  Yeah, it sounds like you haven't watched it
• 24:49
  yet.
• 24:50
  You're gonna absolutely love it and it'll be
• 24:51
  so fun to see what your friend, your
• 24:53
  Christian friend who is currently a meat eater
• 24:57
  of what they think about the film.
• 25:00
  But that's great that you're bringing someone who's
• 25:04
  a Christian and a meat eater.
• 25:05
  Because yeah, definitely it's of course, if anyone,
• 25:07
  vegans out there, I'm sure a lot of
• 25:09
  vegans listening to this of course, but bring
• 25:11
  your Christian friends and meat eater friends and
• 25:14
  they're gonna love it.
• 25:15
  That's another thing too.
• 25:16
  We've done so many test screenings and it's
• 25:18
  been so nice to see the response of
• 25:20
  people coming after like, I eat meat but
• 25:22
  I love the film.
• 25:23
  We're not bashing anyone.
• 25:25
  It's not like we tell anyone at the
• 25:27
  end of the film, like you are sinning
• 25:28
  because it's none of that.
• 25:30
  It's an exploration of the truth, exploration of
• 25:33
  what happened a long time ago and an
• 25:35
  exploration of, is there an ethical way to
• 25:37
  eat animals and done in a challenging way,
• 25:40
  but a soft enough way that opens the
• 25:42
  doors for everyone to really love the film.
• 25:44
  So I think they're gonna love it.
• 25:45
  Well, we wanna play another clip.
• 25:48
  I mean, we could be talking about just
• 25:51
  people being excited about it all day.
• 25:53
  We don't want to give away anything.
• 25:56
  So while we're discussing this, I have a
• 25:59
  gazillion questions I could ask you, but I'm
• 26:01
  keeping it zipped and staying under control, not
• 26:05
  asking those questions that will give away this
• 26:08
  2000 year old conspiracy.
• 26:11
  Check it out.
• 26:12
  Is there a spiritual way to eat animals?
• 26:14
  And if so, is there a spiritual way
• 26:16
  to kill an animal?
• 26:17
  And what would Jesus do?
• 26:19
  This one transcendent question led me from my
• 26:22
  career in gospel music to the co-creator
• 26:24
  of Cowspiracy.
• 26:25
  New documentary, Cowspiracy.
• 26:27
  You know, the documentary about how the world
• 26:29
  is being blown up by cow farts.
• 26:31
  And What the Health.
• 26:33
  What the Health, have you seen that?
• 26:34
  You know, the plant-based mega hit that
• 26:35
  got a lot of beef, especially from Beef
• 26:37
  Magazine.
• 26:39
  Filled with a lot of propaganda.
• 26:40
  Ah, propaganda.
• 26:41
  And of course, C-Spiracy.
• 26:43
  That clicks documentary that everyone is talking about.
• 26:46
  It's called C-Spiracy.
• 26:47
  The film many of you thought should be
• 26:49
  entitled Conspiracy.
• 26:51
  We see what you did there, but no.
• 26:55
  Tell us, it's so cute.
• 26:57
  Those trailers and those sizzles are just really
• 27:00
  well done.
• 27:01
  So creative.
• 27:02
  Tell us about Cam Waters, who I've had
• 27:05
  the pleasure of meeting.
• 27:06
  And it starts where he just shows up
• 27:09
  at an event.
• 27:10
  You do speaking events and Q and A's,
• 27:13
  post screenings.
• 27:14
  And he asked you this question.
• 27:16
  And it's just incredible that that sparked this
• 27:19
  huge blockbuster of a film.
• 27:23
  What can you tell us about that?
• 27:26
  Yeah, it was a divine meeting, as I
• 27:28
  guess you'd say.
• 27:29
  It was so timely because I was just
• 27:32
  finishing Keegan and I, What the Health.
• 27:34
  We just wrapped that up.
• 27:35
  And I knew this was gonna be the
• 27:37
  next film, a film on ethics, but not
• 27:39
  knowing exactly the route it was gonna go.
• 27:42
  And a few weeks after, when I say
• 27:45
  wrapping it up, I just feel like there's
• 27:47
  so much stuff at the end to do.
• 27:48
  It didn't come out on Netflix yet, but
• 27:50
  it was like, okay, we're pretty much done
• 27:52
  now to do the next thing.
• 27:53
  Keegan wasn't interested in this one because it's
• 27:56
  just not, it was for several reasons.
• 27:58
  So I was like, all right, well, somehow
• 28:00
  it's gonna lead me to someone and we're
• 28:02
  gonna make this film together.
• 28:04
  And with it, I think it was literally
• 28:05
  within two weeks, I went to a Cowspiracy,
• 28:07
  as you see in the film, the Cowspiracy
• 28:09
  screening at the LA Greenfest and met Cam
• 28:12
  and it was just amazing because it was
• 28:14
  just perfect timing.
• 28:17
  And I'd been working on this film in
• 28:20
  a way, parts of what you see for
• 28:21
  a long time.
• 28:22
  And for him to be there at that
• 28:25
  day, it was just amazing.
• 28:27
  And then we hit it off right away.
• 28:29
  And from then on, seven years later, here
• 28:33
  we are.
• 28:35
  Finally, finally Vision has been quite the adventure
• 28:37
  to make it, but yeah, it was definitely
• 28:40
  in the divine encounter that was definitely meant
• 28:42
  to be.
• 28:43
  All right.
• 28:44
  And some people are saying they got a
• 28:46
  busy signal.
• 28:46
  That's because so many people were trying to
• 28:48
  call in.
• 28:49
  I'm gonna post the number one more time.
• 28:53
  And I believe, yeah, we've got a couple
• 28:55
  more callers now.
• 28:56
  I will say we got 10 tickets.
• 28:58
  We're already at about a dozen.
• 29:00
  So I'm just gonna live dangerously.
• 29:03
  Anybody who calls in, who can attend an
• 29:06
  LA screening on March 20th at Century City
• 29:09
  AMC, we will get a ticket for you.
• 29:11
  So Georgia, in Santa Monica, would you like
• 29:14
  a ticket?
• 29:15
  And what's your question or thought?
• 29:18
  Hi, I'm so happy about this film.
• 29:21
  I can't wait to see it.
• 29:22
  I was raised a strict Catholic and even
• 29:25
  though I'm half Jewish, half guilty, half guilty.
• 29:28
  And then I went on to think for
• 29:31
  myself afterwards and I know Reverend Michael, he
• 29:34
  married me and my husband.
• 29:35
  Oh wow.
• 29:36
  Who I saw is in the film.
• 29:37
  And I'm just so excited because, from everything
• 29:42
  from excessive guilt to actually giving over your
• 29:47
  finances to even killing yourself has been the
• 29:52
  message of so many outliers of Christianity.
• 29:56
  And I just was thinking, oh, if only
• 29:58
  there was a way somebody could get back
• 30:00
  to the basics.
• 30:01
  And I just can't wait to see how
• 30:03
  you did it.
• 30:04
  Well, I wanna say for one thing, congratulations,
• 30:07
  that's amazing that you got married by, you're
• 30:10
  talking about Reverend Michael Beckwith, I imagine, right?
• 30:13
  Yeah, yeah.
• 30:14
  Wow, how fortunate are you?
• 30:15
  He's one of my favourite human beings in
• 30:17
  the world.
• 30:17
  Yeah, he's in the film and we have
• 30:19
  a whole extended interview on him that we'll
• 30:22
  be sharing later.
• 30:23
  He's incredible, but yeah, thank you.
• 30:27
  All right, Debbie, in Venice, California, your question
• 30:32
  or thought, Debbie in Venice, California.
• 30:38
  Nope, I think Debbie dropped.
• 30:40
  Okay, well, I think we got Annie.
• 30:41
  I wonder if it's the same Annie who
• 30:43
  already called, but we're gonna live, again, dangerously
• 30:46
  and see.
• 30:47
  Annie, Santa Monica.
• 30:49
  Hi, yes, this is Annie, Jane.
• 30:53
  Yeah, different Annie, go ahead.
• 30:56
  Yes, I would love to see the prosperity
• 31:00
  because I grew up without religion.
• 31:03
  I see so much influence of the religion
• 31:06
  and I would like to see the other
• 31:09
  people's views of what they think about the
• 31:12
  influence of the religion in the world.
• 31:15
  I don't know what it's exactly about, but
• 31:17
  I would love to see it.
• 31:20
  What's your last name so we can have
• 31:22
  you down?
• 31:25
  My last name?
• 31:26
  Yeah.
• 31:28
  Vanden Heuvel.
• 31:29
  Oh, okay, okay, I know who you are.
• 31:33
  Now, let me just say this.
• 31:34
  We're getting a lot of vegans calling and
• 31:36
  that's terrific.
• 31:37
  I would urge every single person watching, especially
• 31:41
  your vegans, your animal activists, your plant-based
• 31:44
  people, get other people to go to this
• 31:49
  film.
• 31:50
  Take other people, okay?
• 31:52
  That is super important.
• 31:54
  It's not about you, it's important for you
• 31:57
  to see it, but it's important for people
• 31:58
  who need this message to see it.
• 32:00
  So I would like everybody who is watching.
• 32:05
  Amara St. John says, how soon will the
• 32:07
  film be able to be seen after it's
• 32:10
  seen in theatres?
• 32:11
  I wanna see it very much.
• 32:13
  I'm just not going into theatres.
• 32:15
  Okay, can you answer that question, Kit?
• 32:17
  Yeah, it'll be probably around two months or
• 32:21
  so later.
• 32:22
  Could be less, could be a little more.
• 32:24
  It depends.
• 32:25
  It depends on a few factors.
• 32:27
  We don't know exactly when, but it'll be
• 32:30
  a while.
• 32:30
  If you can go in theatres, you definitely
• 32:32
  wanna watch it in a theatre.
• 32:33
  It's gonna be an incredible experience.
• 32:36
  We have Surround Sound.
• 32:37
  It's just one of those movies, like I
• 32:38
  said, with the adventurous nature of it, you
• 32:41
  just really get into the film.
• 32:44
  It's just gonna overwhelm you and it's gonna
• 32:45
  be amazing.
• 32:46
  But if you can't watch it somehow, it
• 32:48
  will be available in probably two months around
• 32:50
  there after the theatre launch.
• 32:53
  I second what Kit said.
• 32:54
  Go to the theatres and watch it in
• 32:56
  a theatre.
• 32:56
  First of all, it's gonna be super fun.
• 32:58
  Our little group, we're gonna have a party.
• 33:00
  I think we're gonna have dinner beforehand.
• 33:02
  Next caller, Emick in Los Angeles.
• 33:04
  Your question or thought for Kit Anderson.
• 33:07
  Hi.
• 33:09
  Hi, Jane, you're amazing.
• 33:11
  Thank you for this.
• 33:13
  And Kit, I met you in the past.
• 33:16
  I'm just so appreciative of how you live
• 33:18
  your life.
• 33:19
  You could have done so many things with
• 33:21
  the people you know, the things you have,
• 33:24
  but you're just focused on being a good
• 33:27
  person.
• 33:28
  And it's not easy.
• 33:30
  You're just showing how being a good person
• 33:33
  is done.
• 33:34
  This has nothing to do with religions or
• 33:36
  anything else.
• 33:37
  Anybody with consciousness has to watch Caspian and
• 33:41
  understand the message behind it.
• 33:43
  I'm non-religious mainly because of the treatment
• 33:47
  of women and animals and the planet.
• 33:50
  But I really have amazing friends who are
• 33:52
  religious and you made me appreciate them even
• 33:55
  more because they are really good people as
• 33:57
  well.
• 33:58
  And I want people to understand and live
• 34:01
  according to their ethnic families and you're giving
• 34:04
  them a chance to redeem themselves.
• 34:07
  Thank you so much.
• 34:08
  Wonderfully said.
• 34:09
  Emick, do you want a free ticket?
• 34:12
  Actually, I got two tickets already.
• 34:14
  I'd like to donate it to Unchained TV
• 34:16
  for you to make two more people happy
• 34:19
  and enlightened watching this.
• 34:21
  Well, you come and bring whoever you can
• 34:23
  and that's the whole idea.
• 34:25
  We don't, thank you.
• 34:26
  Thank you so much, Emick.
• 34:28
  And I happen to know that Emick is
• 34:29
  a pretty amazing activist on her own who
• 34:32
  did an action in an NFL game and
• 34:37
  got tackled and arrested.
• 34:39
  So way to go, way to go.
• 34:42
  Yes.
• 34:43
  We've got so many people just commenting.
• 34:47
  It's very exciting.
• 34:48
  And I am just jazzed to make this.
• 34:53
  Basically, I think people seeing this film, this
• 34:56
  could trigger a real change in thinking.
• 35:01
  I'll just say for myself, okay, I'm Puerto
• 35:03
  Rican and Irish, Catholic culturally, but we didn't
• 35:07
  go to church.
• 35:08
  My mother was very avant-garde and went
• 35:10
  to every single crazy church there was and
• 35:13
  changed from week to week.
• 35:15
  Not that they were crazy, but different.
• 35:17
  But when somebody got sick, then we'd go
• 35:20
  back to the Catholic church and light a
• 35:22
  candle.
• 35:23
  So it runs deep.
• 35:25
  And I am very excited to see this
• 35:27
  film for the third time on March 20th.
• 35:31
  And it gets better and better because you
• 35:33
  get other nuances that you missed the first
• 35:36
  time.
• 35:37
  I mean, the second time I saw it,
• 35:39
  I was like, oh, wow, bingo, aha.
• 35:42
  Yes, you'll have a lot of aha moments.
• 35:44
  Now, I wanna go to another little moment
• 35:49
  in the film that I thought was absolutely
• 35:51
  fascinating.
• 35:52
  I'm gonna play it for you.
• 35:53
  We're gonna talk to Kip Anderson, the filmmaker
• 35:55
  about it, on the other side.
• 35:58
  How has this been covered up for the
• 35:59
  last 2000 years?
• 36:03
  You know, as it's often been said, history
• 36:05
  is the province of the winners.
• 36:08
  And now we're living with the consequences.
• 36:17
  So that's very intriguing.
• 36:19
  Can you give us a hint without giving
• 36:22
  it away?
• 36:24
  Well, who you just saw there is an
• 36:26
  amazing, amazing author, theologian, and historian.
• 36:31
  His name is Dr. Andrew Lindsey from Oxford.
• 36:35
  And he is the favourite character.
• 36:37
  Like we did when we do pre-screenings,
• 36:39
  we have who's your favourite character?
• 36:40
  Who's your favourite person?
• 36:41
  Hands down, it's him.
• 36:42
  You're gonna love him.
• 36:42
  And he's just amazing.
• 36:44
  He does, he's written over 35 books on
• 36:46
  the connection between religion and animals.
• 36:48
  So he is the go-to person in
• 36:50
  the film.
• 36:52
  And you couldn't pick a better character, a
• 36:55
  nicer person, and just full of, always smoking
• 36:57
  his pipe in that.
• 36:59
  And as far as him, that quote right
• 37:01
  there, history is the province of winners.
• 37:04
  Well, that's the thing, is the goal of
• 37:06
  this film is to spark that who is
• 37:07
  the new winner.
• 37:08
  The winner is compassion, the winner is truth,
• 37:10
  because it's been covered up for so long.
• 37:12
  I feel the winners are being transformed, the,
• 37:16
  I don't wanna say the losers, but it's
• 37:18
  being transformed in the winning.
• 37:20
  And so it's a new era we're entering
• 37:23
  into now.
• 37:23
  So it's really exciting times.
• 37:25
  And we're just so grateful for Dr. Andrew
• 37:28
  Lindsey.
• 37:29
  I see that new people are joining us.
• 37:31
  I wanna ask about this clip.
• 37:33
  I played it before, but I'm gonna play
• 37:34
  it again, because I wanna ask you about
• 37:36
  the danger angle, the risk you took and
• 37:39
  Cam Waters took to your own lives.
• 37:41
  Is there any threat or danger making a
• 37:45
  film like this?
• 37:46
  Yeah, you just wait and see.
• 37:49
  You just wait and see.
• 37:55
  I have no idea of the far reach
• 37:57
  we're going to go.
• 38:04
  They will stop at nothing to keep this
• 38:07
  truth from getting out.
• 38:16
  Is there a spiritual way to kill an
• 38:18
  animal?
• 38:20
  I'll put it this way.
• 38:21
  How would Jesus kill an animal?
• 38:25
  Is there a peaceful way to kill an
• 38:26
  animal?
• 38:31
  Wow.
• 38:33
  Again, without giving anything away, how did you
• 38:39
  do this?
• 38:40
  I mean, it was terrifying at moments.
• 38:42
  It was.
• 38:44
  I guess I had some practise from Cowspiracy,
• 38:48
  because we get that question a lot, especially
• 38:49
  after you see it, because there are some
• 38:51
  scary things that happen during the making of
• 38:52
  it.
• 38:54
  But when I did Cowspiracy and I remember
• 38:56
  interviewing, she's referring to his name right now,
• 39:01
  Howard, Howard, Howard.
• 39:03
  Howard Lyman.
• 39:03
  Howard Lyman.
• 39:04
  He scared us.
• 39:05
  He's like, do you know what you're getting
• 39:06
  yourself into?
• 39:07
  And if you watch Cowspiracy, there was really
• 39:09
  like putting the camera down.
• 39:10
  What are we doing?
• 39:11
  What are we getting ourselves into?
• 39:13
  And then realising this is way bigger and
• 39:14
  we just need to move on.
• 39:17
  So after What the Health came out, we
• 39:19
  started working on this film.
• 39:20
  Definitely scary.
• 39:21
  I don't want to give too much because
• 39:22
  we share about the making of this and
• 39:24
  some of the dangers that we encountered in
• 39:26
  the film.
• 39:27
  But the main thing is we feel we're
• 39:29
  protected overall.
• 39:30
  We feel the main scary part was we
• 39:33
  have to protect the footage.
• 39:35
  So we had to do like three, four,
• 39:37
  five backups and put them in different states,
• 39:39
  let alone different houses.
• 39:41
  And then I was kind of like radio
• 39:43
  silent for the past five, five years, seven
• 39:47
  years.
• 39:47
  And Cam was just starting doing his YouTube
• 39:49
  channel.
• 39:50
  And so we just had to like bunker
• 39:52
  down and be really focused.
• 39:53
  And the main thing is to finish the
• 39:55
  film.
• 39:55
  So our concern of finishing the film safely
• 40:00
  surmounted our fear of our personal health.
• 40:03
  And I feel now like the other films,
• 40:06
  when their film is out, we're all in
• 40:09
  it together.
• 40:09
  The film is out, there's nothing to do,
• 40:11
  and we just feel protected by higher beings
• 40:14
  and the animals and the spirit.
• 40:16
  So we just trust in that.
• 40:19
  So, but it's definitely frightening at times for
• 40:22
  sure.
• 40:22
  I want to ask you as somebody who
• 40:26
  being in media, I know how I can
• 40:29
  have a glimpse or really an insight into
• 40:32
  how incredibly difficult what you did is.
• 40:36
  It's mind blowing actually.
• 40:38
  How did you stay determined and move forward?
• 40:43
  Because there had to be days where you
• 40:45
  just, this is a long time, seven years,
• 40:47
  where you said, oh my God, can I
• 40:50
  do this?
• 40:51
  Look what happened here, look what happened there.
• 40:54
  They're coming after us.
• 40:56
  Like how did you maintain your spirit and
• 41:00
  your determination?
• 41:02
  What was it inside you?
• 41:04
  I guess the one thing is it just
• 41:07
  has to be done.
• 41:08
  It has to be done.
• 41:09
  And this has been, I feel Cam would
• 41:11
  say the same way.
• 41:13
  Even as difficult as it was, even through
• 41:14
  the Netflix thing that was like three years
• 41:16
  ago already, somehow it has to be done.
• 41:20
  So there was never a moment of like,
• 41:22
  we're gonna stop or we're gonna do this,
• 41:24
  even though there was some moments in the
• 41:26
  film where you'd think so, but it was
• 41:28
  just like, we're doing this.
• 41:30
  And I have a daily spiritual, I have
• 41:32
  a meditation practise and I clear things and
• 41:34
  I refocus every single day.
• 41:37
  I do that every single day.
• 41:39
  And it's about 15, 20 minutes is all,
• 41:41
  but I feel that's really powerful and keeps
• 41:43
  me on track.
• 41:45
  And I feel to anyone, I mean, that
• 41:48
  for me personally, that's really helped me to
• 41:50
  stay focused and just somehow we will get
• 41:53
  this done.
• 41:53
  But yeah, having a partner like Cam is
• 41:57
  really powerful that someone believes in the mission
• 41:59
  and the film as much as I do.
• 42:02
  And now our core team of four and
• 42:05
  growing five, it just helps have surrounded with
• 42:08
  people who just really believe in the film
• 42:12
  and the film's message.
• 42:14
  And then it's so great.
• 42:15
  Now we're doing it all together.
• 42:17
  That's the great part.
• 42:18
  Now we're doing it all together.
• 42:19
  So ha, it's not just us.
• 42:21
  So it feels really good and so it's
• 42:24
  all worth it.
• 42:26
  Yeah, and again, if you got a busy
• 42:29
  signal, call in again.
• 42:31
  We're getting inundated, which is a good thing.
• 42:34
  We wanna fill up each and every one
• 42:36
  of those 600 theatres, March 20th and March
• 42:38
  24th.
• 42:39
  All you have to do is go to
• 42:40
  chrisspiracy.com, get your ticket like that, all
• 42:44
  right?
• 42:44
  And do it and bring other people because
• 42:47
  we're at a pivotal turning point right now.
• 42:53
  Literally not even me saying it, Sir David
• 42:56
  Attenborough, we're breaking boundaries.
• 42:59
  Life could become unsustainable for people and other
• 43:02
  beings.
• 43:03
  And we need to make some fundamental changes.
• 43:05
  And I really believe this film can help
• 43:09
  redirect people and reground people about what's really
• 43:13
  important.
• 43:14
  I would love, I had this fantasy of
• 43:15
  it being shown at churches around the nation.
• 43:18
  Is there any strategy for getting churches to
• 43:23
  show this films to their congregations?
• 43:28
  Yes, that's definitely the plan.
• 43:30
  After we do the theatrical release, they're set
• 43:32
  in these 650 theatres, but we're already asking,
• 43:34
  can I do a screening in our theatre
• 43:36
  or in our church?
• 43:37
  Yes, but first get them to the theatre.
• 43:41
  Do make this a big fun church event
• 43:42
  where everyone goes to watch the film.
• 43:45
  It's actually on, the second showing is on
• 43:47
  Sunday and I believe it's gonna be three
• 43:49
  or four o'clock.
• 43:50
  So it's a perfect timing.
• 43:52
  Go to church, tell everyone to come, maybe
• 43:54
  buy a few tickets to some of your
• 43:55
  friends that would never go otherwise and make
• 43:58
  this an incredible Sunday event.
• 44:00
  So we're so stoked that it's actually on
• 44:02
  Sunday as well.
• 44:03
  And then after that, after the whole theatre
• 44:06
  run, there'll be goals to do a lot
• 44:08
  of church screenings for sure.
• 44:11
  Okay, questions that just popped in my head.
• 44:14
  What about the Pope?
• 44:16
  What about the Pope?
• 44:17
  We tried so hard.
• 44:19
  We were in Rome, we travel all around.
• 44:21
  We were in Rome for a while and
• 44:23
  we were one degree of separation, I mean,
• 44:27
  even a half a degree.
• 44:28
  We were so close, we felt, I mean,
• 44:29
  who knows at the end of the day,
• 44:31
  but to get an interview with him, we
• 44:34
  tried so hard and the same, I mean,
• 44:36
  I don't wanna give two away, but the
• 44:37
  Dalai Lama, we were looking to get an
• 44:39
  interview with, maybe we did, maybe we didn't,
• 44:41
  watch the film.
• 44:42
  The Pope is someone that we definitely really
• 44:45
  tried hard because his name, he named himself
• 44:48
  St. Francis of Assisi, which is the saint
• 44:51
  patron of the animals.
• 44:53
  And he named himself of all the names
• 44:55
  he could have chosen.
• 44:57
  So, and he, the energy I feel from
• 44:59
  him is I feel he would love this
• 45:02
  film.
• 45:03
  Some people go, oh, I don't know.
• 45:05
  I just really feel I love this film.
• 45:06
  So our goal is to have him watch
• 45:08
  the film and address it.
• 45:10
  That would be our dream.
• 45:11
  And also too, I remember there was a
• 45:12
  million dollar vegan challenge where if the Pope
• 45:16
  went vegan for I think even a day,
• 45:18
  I don't think it was a week, they'd
• 45:20
  get a million dollars for his charity.
• 45:21
  So we might see if we can start
• 45:23
  that up again and to do a million
• 45:25
  dollar vegan challenge to having the Pope watch
• 45:28
  Christ's Spiracy, just watch the film, address it,
• 45:32
  what he finds in the film and acknowledge
• 45:34
  or discuss anything that we found revealed in
• 45:36
  the film.
• 45:37
  We'd love to see what he thinks about
• 45:39
  it.
• 45:40
  Yeah, and apparently he gave up gossip instead
• 45:43
  of giving up meat when he was given
• 45:45
  that challenge.
• 45:48
  Okay, Sarah in Venice Beach, I know you've
• 45:51
  been trying, your question or thought and do
• 45:53
  you want a free ticket to the Century
• 45:55
  City AMC Saturday, excuse me, Wednesday night, March
• 46:00
  20th showing?
• 46:02
  Yes, I would definitely want a free ticket
• 46:05
  and definitely wanna see this movie.
• 46:08
  And I wanna know if possibly you're planning
• 46:12
  on maybe reaching out to church groups or
• 46:16
  youth groups because there's all these types of
• 46:19
  groups that they have summer camps.
• 46:22
  And I was just thinking maybe their group
• 46:24
  could either have like a movie night or
• 46:27
  they could have a big church group or
• 46:29
  any type of religious institution group go to
• 46:32
  the actual theatre and like maybe it's a
• 46:35
  whole theatre for the movie.
• 46:37
  That was my question to see if you
• 46:39
  like that idea.
• 46:40
  Thank you.
• 46:41
  Love the idea, love the idea.
• 46:43
  We actually have a button on the thing
• 46:45
  where you can do group theatre buyouts or
• 46:47
  group ticket sales.
• 46:49
  So yeah, we love it.
• 46:50
  And with the other films too, this film
• 46:52
  demographic is really for everyone in all ages
• 46:55
  but what's been really nice is, and on
• 46:58
  purpose too is that anyone from like 15,
• 47:01
  16 to that 30 year old, the younger
• 47:04
  Gen Z demographic, they love this film.
• 47:07
  And that's been a big retreat too.
• 47:09
  So really having the youth really champion this
• 47:12
  film and bring it to their Christian youth
• 47:14
  groups or Bible studies and talk about it
• 47:16
  and have go and make it a fun
• 47:18
  event.
• 47:18
  That sounds amazing.
• 47:20
  And any support on that, we'd love.
• 47:23
  Yeah, Britt in Sacramento, your question or thought
• 47:27
  for Kip Anderson, co-creator of Christpiracy.
• 47:34
  Britt?
• 47:37
  Yes.
• 47:38
  Go ahead, honey.
• 47:40
  Okay, right now?
• 47:42
  Yep.
• 47:44
  Okay.
• 47:46
  I wanted to know if, hold on, I'm
• 47:49
  sorry.
• 47:50
  I'm hearing something in the background.
• 47:51
  Just get it out.
• 47:53
  It's okay, you're fine.
• 47:55
  Okay.
• 47:57
  I wanted to know if, yes, I wanted
• 48:00
  to know if Kip, you know, are you
• 48:03
  there?
• 48:04
  Yes.
• 48:04
  Go ahead, go ahead.
• 48:05
  Okay.
• 48:07
  The impact, you know, I became, I became,
• 48:10
  I was vegetarian since I was 12.
• 48:13
  I'm 58.
• 48:15
  And I just wanted to know if you
• 48:17
  know, I became vegan instantly.
• 48:20
  Instantly, I became vegan of watching Christpiracy that
• 48:24
  hour.
• 48:25
  And I wanted to know if you know
• 48:27
  the impact of being vegan, of what you've
• 48:32
  influenced.
• 48:33
  It's just beautiful.
• 48:35
  Thank you, Britt.
• 48:36
  Thank you so much.
• 48:37
  I guess the fundamental question there is, are
• 48:40
  you getting any evidence that people, I've heard
• 48:43
  so many people say, yes, I went vegan
• 48:45
  after watching Christpiracy.
• 48:46
  I went vegan after watching What the Health.
• 48:48
  Do you think this is going to have
• 48:50
  the same kind of impact?
• 48:51
  We do, we do.
• 48:53
  And the whole thing of the impact of
• 48:54
  this is to raise questions.
• 48:56
  So people, you know, if you're watching it,
• 48:58
  it's like, oh my gosh, I am scared
• 48:59
  to watch it.
• 48:59
  I'm going to be vegan.
• 49:00
  But yes, this has had a tremendous, tremendous
• 49:05
  impact.
• 49:05
  And the people who have watched it, we
• 49:07
  just got one.
• 49:08
  We did a pre-screening to our Kickstarter
• 49:10
  backers and someone said, I watched this with,
• 49:12
  I believe, six of my Christian meat-eating
• 49:16
  family.
• 49:16
  My entire family watched it.
• 49:18
  And after watching it, we're all, everyone just
• 49:20
  decided to go to try out not eating
• 49:23
  animals.
• 49:24
  And so that's beautiful to hear things like
• 49:26
  that.
• 49:27
  So for sure.
• 49:27
  Let me ask you a question because, you
• 49:32
  know, historically, there is a lot of evidence
• 49:36
  that the Bible was written, you know, by
• 49:38
  committee in essence.
• 49:39
  Is there a sense from people who are
• 49:42
  Christian who have seen this film that they've
• 49:45
  been kind of betrayed that, whoa, why didn't
• 49:49
  I know this?
• 49:51
  Yeah, yeah, definitely.
• 49:53
  It's one of those.
• 49:53
  Not only why have I known that some,
• 49:55
  you know, a lot of people like, well,
• 49:56
  I've never even thought about this.
• 49:58
  That's what's interesting about this film or the
• 50:00
  other films.
• 50:01
  When I, you know, we go in and
• 50:03
  we interview the head of Rainforest Action Network
• 50:06
  or Greenpeace or in what the health, you
• 50:08
  know, the Cancer Society or diabetes, we know
• 50:12
  that they know this.
• 50:14
  We know that they're covering it up.
• 50:15
  So we know the questions to ask.
• 50:17
  And it's kind of like, you're doing this
• 50:19
  on purpose.
• 50:20
  What's interesting about this film that's different than
• 50:22
  that one is that when we've asked these
• 50:24
  questions, very challenging ones to pastors and some
• 50:27
  of these people, theologians who have been studying
• 50:31
  this for years and years, they have just
• 50:33
  never even thought of the question.
• 50:36
  They've never even thought of this angle.
• 50:38
  And so it's not like they're consciously covering
• 50:40
  up.
• 50:40
  They just never knew.
• 50:41
  So it's almost like this coverup happened 1
• 50:45
  ,500 to 2,000 years ago.
• 50:47
  And now the entire society is kind of
• 50:48
  like took in on this path.
• 50:50
  And so they don't even really know that
• 50:51
  they've, I don't wanna say been duped, but
• 50:54
  been taken on this other path.
• 50:56
  Whereas the other films, you know, they're consciously
• 50:58
  doing it in the present moment.
• 51:00
  So that's interesting about this film.
• 51:02
  And I think this could have a dramatic
• 51:04
  impact because people like to think of religion
• 51:09
  as a static thing, but it's always evolving.
• 51:12
  I mean, it evolved with Martin Luther.
• 51:14
  It evolved with all sorts of developments and
• 51:18
  it is constantly changing.
• 51:20
  So this could spark a real revolution in
• 51:25
  Christianity.
• 51:26
  And I just wanna know if any of
• 51:29
  the theologians that you spoke with sense that
• 51:33
  it could have that impact.
• 51:35
  Oh, absolutely.
• 51:36
  And some of the theologians we talked to,
• 51:38
  they know what's in this film.
• 51:41
  They haven't really had a voice.
• 51:44
  And that's what's beautiful that the timing of
• 51:47
  this coming out now is like finally having
• 51:48
  a voice for this reveal what you see
• 51:52
  in the film.
• 51:52
  And the timing is impeccable because it's just
• 51:56
  so important and it's gonna be massively, massively
• 51:59
  impactful, I feel, for Christianity, but not only
• 52:02
  Christianity, for Buddhism and the other religions as
• 52:05
  well to really, when you ask these questions
• 52:07
  to yourself, being whatever you believe in, just
• 52:11
  looking in the mirror, let alone of what
• 52:13
  Jesus did or Buddha and these other things.
• 52:15
  It's a transformative moment, not only for the
• 52:17
  religions, but really for the viewer and when
• 52:19
  you watch this film.
• 52:20
  So it's really powerful.
• 52:22
  And powerful in a really beautiful, profound way
• 52:24
  that we've been told.
• 52:26
  And Jason Bueno says, I'm a Christian vegan
• 52:28
  and this film made me feel not crazy.
• 52:32
  Wow.
• 52:34
  Well said, Jason.
• 52:36
  So we only have two minutes.
• 52:38
  What are your final thoughts?
• 52:39
  Obviously, what we're all about people today is
• 52:44
  buy the tickets.
• 52:46
  Get the tickets.
• 52:47
  It's the best ticket you'll ever get.
• 52:50
  I tell you, there's a lot of great
• 52:53
  films out there and a lot of them
• 52:54
  are streaming on Unchained TV and we're always
• 52:56
  promoting them.
• 52:56
  I feel this film is really revolutionary.
• 53:01
  It's so profound.
• 53:03
  And if you go, you will be part
• 53:04
  of history.
• 53:05
  You'll always be able to look back and
• 53:06
  say, I was there at the first or
• 53:09
  the second showing of Christ's Spiracy.
• 53:12
  Wow.
• 53:12
  Look what happened afterwards.
• 53:13
  So what would you say, Kip?
• 53:15
  I'd agree.
• 53:16
  It's a historical moment with the theatrical screening,
• 53:19
  especially this film.
• 53:20
  This was the first time a film like
• 53:22
  this in this world, this movement, whatever you
• 53:24
  say, a movement of compassion.
• 53:25
  It's gonna have a full theatrical run.
• 53:28
  First time ever.
• 53:29
  So not only do you have to watch
• 53:30
  it in movie theatres, get your tickets now.
• 53:33
  Even if you click on, you'll see that
• 53:34
  there's maybe a lot of seats in your
• 53:36
  theatre.
• 53:36
  It's gonna do like an exponential.
• 53:38
  They're all gonna fill up.
• 53:39
  And of course you want the good seats
• 53:41
  to your theatre.
• 53:42
  So make sure you get them now and
• 53:44
  invite your friends, buy them.
• 53:46
  We do is pay it forward, buy extra
• 53:48
  tickets for friends, pass them out.
• 53:50
  You just bring as many people as you
• 53:52
  can to make this a tsunami wave of
• 53:55
  successful in spreading compassion and inspiration to everyone
• 54:00
  who watches this.
• 54:01
  That's the goal.
• 54:02
  Well, I am so darn excited to see
• 54:05
  it again in the big screen.
• 54:08
  I have watched it online and thank you
• 54:11
  for giving me that sneak preview, but it
• 54:13
  really convinced me.
• 54:14
  This is a film that every single person
• 54:16
  under the sun needs to see.
• 54:19
  And I just wanna say, it's fun to
• 54:23
  watch.
• 54:25
  What was the analogy you used?
• 54:27
  It was like.
• 54:28
  Raiders of the Lost Ark.
• 54:30
  Raiders of the Lost Ark meets Da Vinci
• 54:32
  Code meets Cowspiracy.
• 54:34
  That's one of the ones we kind of
• 54:37
  feel.
• 54:37
  That's exactly it.
• 54:39
  Yeah, it has a Raiders of the Lost
• 54:41
  Ark feel, but it's also like a deep,
• 54:44
  like a political thriller, you know?
• 54:47
  An espionage story and an action movie.
• 54:51
  It's got so much and you will just
• 54:55
  be transformed by this film.
• 54:57
  And again, yes, get your ticket at chrisspiracy
