Vegan Noir: Black Vegans in Los Angeles

What does it mean to be Black, vegan, and thriving in a city where food, identity, and resistance collide? Vegan Noir: Black Vegans in Los Angeles is a thought-provoking ethnographic film by Toni Bell that explores the complex realities of Black vegans living in Los Angeles. Through intimate interviews, observational footage, and deep theoretical analysis—from Foucault to Geertz, from Appadurai to Queen Afua—this film reclaims the narrative of plant-based living from mainstream (read: whitewashed) veganism. Set against the backdrop of soul food traditions, cultural memory, systemic racism, and urban food deserts, Vegan Noir captures the lived experiences of Black vegans as they navigate identity, family, activism, and the search for the “good life.” From cottage-industry bakers to former NFL athletes, Afrocentric wellness warriors to queer vegan activists, this documentary invites you into a world where veganism is not just a diet—but a radical, cultural, and spiritual act of reclamation. This is not your typical vegan documentary. This is Black veganism with soul, with theory, and with purpose. 🎬 Directed by Toni Bell 📍 Filmed in Los Angeles, California 📚 Based on anthropological research from ANTH 502: Contemporary Theory in Anthropology
