A documentary film about veganism is about to have its Vancouver premiere.

On Tuesday (April 15), Live and Let Live will be screened in the Fletcher Challenge Theatre at SFU Harbour Centre. German filmmaker Marc Pierschel will be on hand to do a Q&A.

Here's how the Live and Let Live website describes the 80-minute film (featuring Peter Singer, Tom Regan, Gary Francione, T. Colin Campbell, and Jonathan Balcombe):

Live and Let Live is a feature documentary examining our relationship with animals, the history of veganism and the ethical, environmental and health reasons that move people to go vegan.
Food scandals, climate change, lifestyle diseases and ethical concerns move more and more people to reconsider eating animals and animal products. From butcher to vegan chef, from factory farmer to farm sanctuary owner – Live and Let Live tells the stories of six individuals who decided to stop consuming animal products for different reasons and shows the impact the decision has had on their lives.

Admission is a suggested donation of $5 to $15, but the organizers say no one will be turned away. The proceeds will help fund the filmmaker's travel costs.

The Animal Voices radio show and Liberation B.C. are presenting the event, which starts at 7 p.m.
