The vegan lifestyle is extremely beneficial for health, environmental and animal rights reasons. Through a series of vegan related films and documentaries The ‘Vegan Movie Night’ will display all three of these reasons to a larger audience. Sarah Lovatt, the Vegans of Beijing group leader will host the event and for our first event we have invited local animal rescue organization “A Voice For Animals” to be our special guests. 100% of ticket sales will go straight to the organization and will be used to improve the lives of rescued stray animals in Beijing.


For 10 idyllic years, young Mija (An Seo Hyun) has been caretaker and constant companion to Okja-a massive animal and an even bigger friend-at her home in the mountains of South Korea. But that changes when a family-owned multinational conglomerate Mirando Corporation takes Okja for themselves and transports her to New York, where image obsessed and self-promoting CEO Lucy Mirando (Tilda Swinton) has big plans for Mija's dearest friend. With no particular plan but single-minded in intent, Mija sets out on a rescue mission, but her already daunting journey quickly becomes more complicated when she crosses paths with disparate groups of capitalists, demonstrators and consumers, each battling to control the fate of Okja...while all Mija wants to do is bring her friend home.
