Wondering why Sarma Melngailis agreed to do the Netflix documentary series Bad vegan

“I hope people can learn something valuable from my story”: Sarma Melngailis on Why She Agreed to Do &#8216;Bad Vegan&#8217; on Netflix

Isn’t it a wonderful trait of humans that they always find a way to learn and
unlearn something just by observing or witnessing something completely unrelated
to them? I mean, you see people claiming that learned a better way of life, even
when it was something horrible that they witnessed. The best example of such
stories is when people say that a criminal story taught them a life lesson. But
what if the subject of that criminal story that tells you to learn from them?
Well, something like that happened with Sarma Melngailis and her Netflix
documentary Bad Vegan. 

It is one thing to make a true-crime documentary and expect people to watch and
educate themselves from it. As a production house, that is probably a primary
idea of making such a story, and of course, to capitalize on the popularity and
fame of these people. But what is interesting about Bad Vegan on Netflix
[https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news/] is that Sarma Melngailis herself
urges people to learn from her story. But what exactly does she have to teach
us? Let’s find out.


SARMA MELNGAILIS ON WHY SHE AGREED TO DO BAD VEGAN WITH NETFLIX

Well, the story of Sarma Melngailis
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/sarma-melngailis] is anything but a happy one. To

is something few would be comfortable addressing. However, she did this
brilliantly. In a recent blog post
[https://www.sarmaraw.com/writing/2022/16/3aboutbadveganpartone], Sarma revealed
the two major reasons she agreed to do this documentary. And to be honest, she
deserves appreciation for both these reasons.See the source image

First, she said that the producers agreed to pay her for this documentary. This
is really a big thing as documentary subjects are not usually paid for such
projects. But what she revealed further was something that caught our eyes. She
said that she used all the money to pay all of her past employees who she did
wrong.

However, the second reason that she agreed to do this Netflix Original
[https://netflixjunkie.com/category/originals/] documentary is that she wanted
people to learn from her had her mistakes. “I also agreed to do this documentary
because I hope people can learn something valuable from my story. As anyone
who’s been through anything shitty knows, having your experience help others
lessens the shittiness,” she writes in her blog.

Well, her decision paid off because she is satisfied with her portrayal in the
documentary [https://netflixjunkie.com/?p=24075&preview=true].
