On 19/01/2018, the plant based documentary The Game Changers premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, with Arnold Schwarzenegger credited as an executive producer. The film explored the role of plant based nutrition in athletic performance and featured a production team that included James Cameron, Jackie Chan, Lewis Hamilton, Novak Djokovic, and Chris Paul. The documentary was directed by Louie Psihoyos and focused on elite athletes who follow plant based diets.
In addition to his production role, Schwarzenegger appeared in the film discussing his own shift toward reducing meat consumption and addressing common assumptions about protein intake and masculinity in bodybuilding culture. His segment included commentary on nutrition myths and his experience transitioning to more plant based meals later in life. The documentary featured multiple athletes and experts, presenting case studies from sports such as mixed martial arts, cycling, weightlifting, and football.
After its Sundance debut in January 2018, the film underwent further editing before receiving a wider theatrical release in September 2019. The broader release expanded international distribution and was followed by availability on streaming platforms including Netflix. The documentary gained attention for its focus on plant based diets in high performance sports and for its involvement of prominent athletes and producers.
