Primary Film Production of The Game Changers (TGC)
An Initiative of the Game Changers Foundation
ABout US
Since the public release of The Game Changers (TGC) in the fall of 2019, an estimated 75M people in more than 190 countries have viewed the documentary on various platforms, including iTunes, Netflix, and Youku.
TGC’s large viewership and related press coverage — which helped generate more than 1.5 billion media impressions — have had a dramatic influence on eating patterns around the globe, a phenomenon dubbed “The Game Changers Effect”. In addition to TGC’s mainstream success, the film’s scientific credibility has resulted in recognition from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and the Defense Health Agency, as well as an endorsement from the Special Operations Medical Association.
In response to the success of film and the support it generated, the Game Changers Institute (GCI) — an initiative of the Game Changers Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity — was recently launched in order to help unite the performance, health, social justice, and environmental spaces under a single authoritative banner with the integrity and diversity to reach a global audience about the critical importance of a plant-centered diet.
