Description

On the evening of the launch of the Hot Docs 2019 lineup, we’re giving members an exclusive theatrical preview of one of the most memorable films of last year’s festival. Directed by Oscar-winner Louie Psihoyos (The Cove) and executive produced by James Cameron, The Game Changers follows James Wilks, elite special forces trainer and winner of The Ultimate Fighter, as he travels the world on a quest for the truth behind one of society’s most dangerous myths—that meat is necessary for strength and optimal health. Meeting elite athletes, special ops soldiers, visionary scientists, cultural icons, and everyday heroes, what James discovers permanently changes his relationship with food and his definition of true strength.

Enjoy a post-screening Q&A with producer/subject James Wilkes and producers/co-writers Joseph Pace and Shannon Kornelsenplus, get a special preview of what to expect at this year’s Hot Docs Festival.

 For this title, we offer Captiview devices for personal viewing of closed captioned content. To reserve a device for the screening of your choice, please contact cinemaboxoffice@hotdocs.ca.
