• Read original article here

A new feature-length documentary called “The Land of Ahimsa” follows Dolly Vyas-Ahuja on her journey to veganism and how she found Ahimsa. Dolly narrates and produces the film alongside Bollywood actor and director of the documentary, Aryeman.

“The Land of Ahimsa” strives to inspire and encourage the people of India to give up meat and dairy and reclaim their true role as keepers of the spiritual heart of Mother Earth.

Ahimsa, in the Hindu, Buddhist, and Jainist traditions and means respect and nonviolence towards all living things. True Ahimsa, says Dolly, is embodied in a vegan lifestyle.

The film follows Dolly as she returns to her homeland after discovering the power of Ahimsa through her transition to a vegan lifestyle. She fights for animal rights, exposes the truth about the dairy industry, and educates others through presentations at various events in India and the United States.

The film goes through interviews with plant-based doctors, athletes, animal activists, and entrepreneurs. They also visit sanctuaries to show the importance of “Ahimsa” in action in India and hope it will inspire the world. The creators strive to show viewers how easy and accessible it is to put “Ahimsa” into action in their daily lives.

“After watching the film, we believe viewers will feel motivated to choose peace over violence and fight against injustices.”

The film is executive produced by Dr. Sailesh Rao (Cowspiracy, What the Health and Prayer for Compassion) and Jerome Flynn (Game of Thrones) and directed and produced by Aryeman, Dolly Vyas, and Mayur Ahuja.

“Inspiring viewers to adopt a vegan lifestyle will benefit their health and wellness, the state of the environment, and will reduce the unnecessary suffering of animals. Watching the film will make viewers feel motivated and empowered to change the world starting with the food they eat to the way they treat others. Everyone has an inner activist who seeks truth and justice and this film will hopefully bring out this inner voice.”
