Vegan Film Screening: Vibrant Vegan Society of Ghana

The Vibrant Vegan Society of Ghana (VVESOG) is a nonprofit organization whose prime objective is to advocate & demystify VEGANISM via online campaigns, workshops, conferences, fairs & festivals.

At the end of the film screening, two options were laid out: Either we continue to pay for animal cruelty or we constantly educate ourselves to make the world a better place.

The Society is widely recognized for it’s consistent advocacy of animal rights education & activities with the aim of making veganism an easily-adopted lifestyle.

On the 11th September, 2021, VVESOG in collaboration with Accra Animal Save organized a Vegan film Screening + Inspiring Vegan Talks, which was well attended by non-vegans & a few vegans. The film (documentary) titled “Dominion” was screened to inform & reveal the hidden realities/cruel activities ongoing in factory farms and dairy farms. Although some attendees couldn’t stand the horrendous graphics being displayed on the screen, they were poignant by the degree of cruelty meted out to Animals on the daily.
