Bad Vegan: Fame. Fraud. Fugitives. (Season 1)

Bad Vegan: Fame. Fraud. Fugitives. (2022) is a Netflix documentary series you can watch online on iFILM. Sarma Melngailis, the reigning star of New York's vegan dining scene, marries a man who insists he can make her dog immortal.

Her celebrated restaurant Pure Food and Wine pulled in crowds and famous faces — until the cash started vanishing and the staff went unpaid for months. Across four episodes the story unspools how smooth-talking con artist Anthony Strangis got a successful woman to buy into mystical "tests" and pushed the couple into flight and arrest. Director Chris Smith, the filmmaker behind Fyre, circles back to his favorite subject: how charisma and self-deception build a tower of lies. True crime for anyone who likes the truth stranger than any script. Stream Bad Vegan (2022) online on iFILM.
