Synopsis from Tribeca Film Festival: Eschewing the glaringly color-blind format of many other documentaries interested in advocating for plant-based living, They’re Trying to Kill Us utilizes its specificity as an act of community care and offers up a new vision of what veganism might look like for communities of color who have been systematically targeted by nutritional and environmental racism. Executive produced by Billie Eilish and Chris Paul and featuring appearances from plant-based living advocates and cultural influencers such as Dame Dash, Angela Yee, Mya, Styles P, and Ne-yo, Kuhn and Lewis’ eye-opening film sheds light on ever urgent issues of food and health injustice. —Sarah-Tai Black

    Pretty sure you mean 2021 not 2001, pretty sure Billie Eilish didn’t make this when she was less than a month old
