The informational parts are good, but the ones where the activists talk are a mess. Some of those men look quite effeminate, and in many men's mind this is going to reaffirm the stereotype of the vegan as a limp-wristed weakling. Some of those activists don't sound very smart, they can't articulate their message very well, or it's not even clear what their message is.

I think you should have chosen 1 or 2 activists, perhaps a man and a woman, who look good and normal, and can express their points eloquently.

Thanks for the feedback.

I haven't done much video editing so my skills probably didn't help punting the message across. But hopefully it was good enough to show the diversity of the vegan/animal rights activist community.

Out of curiosity which men did you find effeminate and "limp-wristed weakling"?

Tim Shieff the world freerunning champion?

Patrik Baboumian the strongman champion?

Richard (aka Vegan Gains) body builder?

Or the very first shot of Sam's handstand (aka the vegan gardener)?

I'm particularly interested to know which bits you found compelling?
