'There is a war coming and we need an army of vegans', Tal Gilboa tells a group of fellow vegans in the film. But 'One Angry Vegan' is not about being one angry vegan. It\u2019s about the price of activism.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\n

SHIRA FEDER:<\/strong> ‘In 2012, there were 70,000 vegans in Israel. But most Israelis didn\u2019t know what the word vegan meant. In 2018, at least 5% of Israelis are vegan. In Gil Golan\u2019s \u201cOne Angry Vegan,\u201d which premiered at the Chelsea Film Festival, he sets out to document the militant vegan whose star ascended as she became the face of a movement. \u201cThere is a war coming and we need an army of vegans,\u201d Tal Gilboa tells a group of fellow vegans in the film. Gilboa cuts quite a figure, with her unkempt blonde hair, her rarely matching socks, her all-caps ANIMAL LIBERATION tattoo, the intensely Israeli way she gesticulates when she talks, and the visibly raw sadness that fuels her fury.<\/em><\/p>\n

In some ways, she\u2019s the perfect face of the Israeli vegan movement. She\u2019s a good-looking mother of three, a real sabra, and a former officer of the IDF (\u201cbut also a free spirit,\u201d her husband Eran Yuz is quick to clarify), and the winner of 2014\u2019s Israeli \u201cBig Brother\u201d and the founder of the Israeli Animal Liberation Front. But \u201cOne Angry Vegan\u201d is not about being one angry vegan. It\u2019s about the price of activism, it\u2019s about the radicalness of female anger, and it\u2019s about the way modern activism involves seducing the media for those headlines that fuel interest in the mission…<\/em><\/p>\n

Vegans have chastised them for ruining vegans\u2019 reputation, while carnivores, of course, think they are too radical. Goldin and Gilboa\u2019s version of veganism is one that declares carnivores as evil and wrong, that demands that carnivores beg an animal\u2019s forgiveness. Gilboa grew up close to her sisters, but now she rebuffs them because they eat meat. \u201cThey aren\u2019t bad people,\u201d her husband tries to interject. \u201cIf someone served you human babies, would you just go along with it?\u201d she snaps back. Today, Israel is full of angry vegans just like Gilboa’.<\/em> SOURCE…<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
