A wry, fast-moving mockumentary that imagines a vegan future looking back at our meat-eating present with deadpan humour and unexpected tenderness.

Overview: It's 2067, the UK is vegan, but older generations are suffering the guilt of their carnivorous past. Simon Amstell asks us to forgive them for the horrors of what they swallowed.
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, earnest and melancholic. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Guilt, morality, identity, media
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
