They're Trying to Kill Us: Powerful New Film


Listen Later

WATCH THE FILM HERE: theyretryingtokillus.com - "They're Trying To Kill Us" is the follow-up feature-length documentary to the award-winning film What The Health, focusing on food (in)justice told through the lens of Hip Hop and urban culture, produced by Keegan Kuhn (Cowspiracy, What The Health) and John Lewis (Badass Vegan, Vegan Smart). Hip Hop influences global culture more than any other art form in human history. What Hip Hop artists say, wear, drive, drink and eat influences the purchases of millions of people around the world. As more and more influential Hip Hop artists adopt a food-conscious lifestyle, it has the potential to radically shift the world they speak to. Their global influence has a real possibility of combatting chronic disease, minimizing climate change, reducing healthcare costs, ending starvation and promoting compassion. The aim of the film is to encourage critical thought about justice by highlighting Hip Hop artists and activists who speak about injustice in all its forms. The film addresses food access and food deserts, nutritional and environmental racism, diet-related diseases, racial disparities of disease, government corruption, animal cruelty, climate change and ultimately how the influence of Hip Hop will save the world.
