The Game Changers

James Wilks is a mixed martial artist and self-defense instructor who uses his downtime to explore the effects of plant-based diets on health, recovery, and athletic performance. He interviews athletes such as Scott Jurek, Patrik Baboumian, Bryant Jennings, and Charity Morgan, among others, who attribute their success to a plant-based diet. The film dramatizes a comparison of postprandial effects of meals consisting of animal- versus plant-based foods, featuring Dr. Scott Stoll, Walter Willett, Perry Mason, David Katz, Bob Bailey, Tim Lang, Dolph Lundgren, and Roger Whiteside in interviews about the benefits of a vegan diet on athletic performance, public health, and environmental sustainability.
