Simon Amstell is a British stand-up comedian and TV show host - and now film director. Members of the Vegan Information Project met Simon when he visited our "Vegan Information Day" event in Dublin in 2014, shortly after he appeared at the Electric Picnic in Ireland (see picture, top left). He had just begun including a vegan section in his comedy set and noted that this created a good deal of heckling from the audience. As you'll hear below, this vegan piece of his show was the basis of a film project.
In 2017, Amstell directed a brilliant pro-vegan film called Carnage which is set in a vegan future looking back at a time when human animals ate other animals. This "package" contains the film itself, Simon Amstell talking about it at the premier, a couple of reviews, and his appearance on the Species Barrier podcast in 2015.

Here's a couple of extracts from the Q&A which followed the premier of the film.
Here's a pretty interesting review. Warning: contains ableist language by the presenters.
