Kip Andersen, known for Cowspiracy and What the Health, is gearing up to release a new documentary called Christspiracy: The Spirituality Secret. During an exclusive interview with Dexerto, he shared insights on how the film aims to "rewrite Christianity."
Addressing two controversial topics in America - meat consumption and religion - Andersen and co-creator Kameron Waters demonstrate boldness in their upcoming investigative documentary. The film delves into the spiritual implications of killing animals, posing the question: is there a spiritual approach to this act?
This is not the first time the filmmaker has delved into the topic of veganism. Previous works include Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret, What the Health, and Seaspiracy, all of which explore the impact of animal product consumption and the meat and dairy industries on the environment and human health.
Christspiracy, on the other hand, focuses on the ethical implications of eating meat. Andersen and Waters uncovered what is believed to be the most significant cover-up in the past 2,000 years during their investigation. In a recent interview with Dexerto, Andersen shared that the film aims to "rewrite Christianity" with its revelations.

During the production of Christspiracy, a five-year expedition took the filmmakers from Rome to Jerusalem, Oxford to India. They engaged with theologians, archeologists, farmers, and shamans to delve into the intricate relationship between religions and animals.
In their exploration of different religions, particular attention is paid to Christianity and the intriguing inquiry into Jesus's views on the consumption of animals. Throughout their investigation, Andersen and Waters unveil a number of significant discoveries indicating that the interpretations of certain biblical texts and the teachings of Jesus may have been altered.
