About one and a half years ago my brother was knawing on some kind of animal carcass and was indicating to me how good it was. I was upset and called him a hypocrite. He laughed and came to me to talk and we discussed how he wouldn't kill a dog and eat it and all that stuff.
Over the next year and a half we talked about vegetarianism when he came to visit (he lives in another city about 2 hours away). I loaned him books on vegetarianism (including "Dominion"). I wrote out a lot of my own thoughts and sent them to him. But nothing would get him to switch. He was convinced in his head but not in his heart.
Then I ordered "Peaceable Kingdom" and "Meet Your Meat" from North American Vegetarian Society. I sent him the videos a couple of months ago. Last week he came for a visit and told me he had been vegetarian for 2 weeks. He was trying to describe what kind of vegetarian and he was saying, "lacto... ovo... and something else... the kind of vegetarian that eats fish." lol. I told him that wasn't vegetarian but that it was a huge step.
So now he's my ambassador. His wife said she would become vegetarian for his sake but he said she should only become vegetarian for her sake. So he wants her to see the videos. I'm hoping he'll show his friends too. Especially his church friends. He could invite them over to watch "Peaceable Kingdom" and pretend it's a video about Jesus, lol. :)
Anyway, I think he's still kinda on shakey ground and I'm wondering if any VBers can recommend other good videos. I'm not really looking for gross videos but if they are good then that's fine. I'm looking more for emotional videos like "Peaceable Kingdom".
Please tell me the title of the video, what it's about, and where I can get it. And if you know of a Canadian distributor for your video that would save me duty charges.
