Director Statement

I Do Not Eat Anyone is our first project we did together, as well as our first feature documentary and producer's debut in such scale.
"Я Никого Не Ем" является нашим первым совместным проектом, полным метром и продюсерским и режиссерским дебютом такого масштаба.

We would like to show the world that plant-based diet is not something that Russia inherited for the last couple of years, but it is something that existed for centuries in this country. Also we would like to prove that there's much more humanity in our world than it's considered to be.
Мы хотели бы рассказать о том, что растительное питание в России появилось не сегодня, и что в нашем обществе гораздо больше гуманности, чем принято считать.

Our project came to life only thanks to our team and people who participated in it. We believe in success of the project because we believe that it can inspire many of those who will watch the film.
Наш проект осуществился только благодаря команде и героям, которые принимали в нем участие. Мы верим в успех, потому что верим в идею проекта и в то, что она может вдохновить многих, кто посмотрит наш фильм.
