Christspiracy: The Spirituality Secret movie - Release date and how to watch
A new controversial documentary from the creator of Seaspiracy has landed – here's how you can watch it.
A brand new documentary from the co-creator of Seaspiracy, Cowspiracy and What the Health has landed. And, much like its predecessors, it's causing quite the stir. So much so, that it won't be following them on Netflix.
Controversial filmmaker Kip Andersen teamed up with fellow director Kameron Waters (who is listed as a composer on Seaspiracy) to investigate questions surrounding faith, ethics, vegetarianism and religion, including whether or not Jesus was a vegetarian.
"Two daring filmmakers embark on a global quest sparked by the not-so-simple question 'is there a spiritual way to kill an animal?', and along the way discover the biggest cover-up in the last 2000 years," they documentary's website teases.
Want to know how you can give it a watch, and why it's a rather controversial premise? Read on.

How to watch Christspiracy in the UK
Currently, the only place to watch the film in the UK is the cinema. The documentary will be showing in select theatres around the country.
Though Andersen's previous films have all found a home in Netflix, this will not be the case for Christspiracy.
"[We are] super grateful to Netflix for providing a platform and releasing the other three previous films," Andersen told Plant Based News.
He added: "With this film it is a little challenging, as some of the subject matter is so bold and so controversial."
What is Christspiracy about?
The documentary seeks to answer the question of whether animals can be killed in a spiritual way, and claims to uncover a 2,000-year-old cover-up in the process – that Jesus was a vegetarian.
It was funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised $433,747.
"It was a gut-wrenching decision to step away from Netflix," co-director Waters explained. "But now that we've sat with it – and have considered how much more reach this message will have with people around the world by doing this independently – we're very excited."

On the film's Kickstarter campaign, the pair provided more details about the streamer's reservations, writing: "After countless hours of research, years of relentless investigation, and tireless hours of planning, filming, and editing, we returned home and presented our first cut to Netflix. Let's just say, we felt Netflix didn’t know how to... view what we uncovered."
They added: "They wanted to redact key parts and take the film in a different direction, while we dove deeper in the direction that we knew the investigation needed to go."
