These Celebs Prove ‘Okja’ Is STILL Making Its Mark on the World
The Netflix original megahit Okja follows a young girl as she embarks on a crazy, thrilling rescue mission to save her beloved animal companion and best friend Okja from certain death on a farm. The movie tackles the horrors of eating animals, the meat industry, and the unbreakable bond between humans and animals.
We’ve all seen those features in celebrity magazines declaring, “Stars—they’re just like us!” And this summer, celebrities are expressing strong reactions to Okja—just like we are:
Okja‘s acclaimed director Bong Joon-ho has said, “I do want my audience to consider, at least once, where the food on their plate comes from.” His film, like Netflix’s documentary What the Health, has undoubtedly had a major impact on vegans and nonvegans alike, persuading many people to consider cutting animal-derived ingredients from their diet.
Like Okja, cows are gentle giants, curious and clever; chickens are inquisitive and social; and pigs are friendly, loyal, and intelligent.
