When mainstream media stays quiet on animal cruelty, climate issues, and injustice, one network is turning the volume all the way up. UnchainedTV, founded by Emmy Award-winning journalist Jane Velez-Mitchell, is bringing real talk and real change. This isn’t some soft, filtered platform serving up perfect plates and staged smiles. It’s raw. It’s loud. It’s built to challenge power and inspire action.
UnchainedTV makes veganism feel real, not like some exclusive club. It shines a spotlight on the hard truths behind industries harming animals and the planet. It also celebrates the people, creators, and everyday changemakers who are proving a better way is possible. This network isn’t begging to be heard. It’s demanding the mic.
The reporting doesn’t hold back. UnchainedTV confronts corporate greed, environmental damage, and cruelty that other outlets often overlook. It pushes for answers and accountability. This is storytelling with a pulse.
What truly sets UnchainedTV apart is its ability to connect everything. It doesn’t discuss animal rights as if they exist in a separate universe. It ties the fight for animals to climate justice, public health, racial equity, gender rights, and food security. The message is clear: protecting animals also protects communities.
The network also works with grassroots organizations and nonprofits, giving them the platform to push their message further. It’s not just covering a movement, it’s fueling it.
But UnchainedTV isn’t all serious. It knows how to bring the flavor, too. The network features hundreds of videos showcasing plant-based food that looks delicious, real people making significant lifestyle changes, and creators demonstrating how cruelty-free living can be a joyful experience. It makes compassion look powerful and cool.
The whole thing started with one bold choice. Jane Velez-Mitchell walked away from a successful career on HLN/CNN Headline News to chase something bigger than herself. With a GoPro camera and a mission, she started filming protests, rallies, and untold stories.
In 2016, she launched LunchbreakLIVE, a daily vegan cooking show on Facebook that pulled in millions of viewers. By 2018, the project became a nonprofit. Two years later, UnchainedTV dropped New Day New Chef, a celebrity-packed vegan cooking show picked up by Amazon Prime, PBS, and Gusto TV. It won two Taste Awards, which are known as the “Oscars of Food,” proving the network had real reach.
Today, UnchainedTV is the world’s only free, global streaming platform fully focused on veganism and animal rights. With more than 2,000 videos and a growing international audience, it’s already being called the Vegan CNN/Netflix. But the hype isn’t just about the numbers. It’s about the impact.
The network tells stories that hit home. Rescued animals taking their first steps toward freedom. Families choosing compassion over convenience. Activists fighting for change even when nobody’s watching. These stories stick with you.
In a time when climate change, food justice, and animal rights are all crashing together, UnchainedTV is proving media can be more than background noise. It can spark a movement. It can make caring feel powerful.
At SwagHer Magazine, we highlight the voices that move culture forward. UnchainedTV is doing exactly that. It’s not just a streaming platform. It’s a revolution with a lens, a message, and a mission to make truth impossible to ignore.
