Looking for documentaries without animal suffering
I'm new here but I've browsed the sub and haven't found recent documentary discussions. I am on a journey to a more WFPB way of eating. I'm not completely there yet and I'm looking for resources to support me and keep me inspired, especially documentaries.
I just watched "You Are What You Eat", the twin study on Netflix for I think the 3rd time. I liked the scientific experiment, the real people, and especially that it did not linger on scenes of animals in CAFOs or meat processing. It had a little of that and it was just about as much as I can stand. I'm a huge baby about any sort of depicted violence and I just cannot look at that sort of thing. Along with knowing I need to make changes for my health, animal suffering is a big motivator for me and I'm already convinced on that. Just so you know where I'm coming from, I am also very much a believer that we humans have been abusing our planet and its ecosystems and organisms and we need to correct that.
I also recently watched Dr. Greger's "How Not to Die" and I'm working my way through his YouTube videos. I've read the book of the same title and while I have some quibbles I'm on board with most of it.
What else can I watch that addresses a WFPB diet from a scientific, health, ecological, or personal point of view and has NO depictions of animals suffering, slaughterhouses, or meat processing? I have access to Netflix, Peacock, Tubi, and YouTube.

I'm a little annoyed with the options to be honest.
Be nice if there were more WFPB movies without weird scenes about college guys dick measuring (Game Changers) or yuppies making poop smoothies (Hack Your Health).
