- Hosted by actress & filmmaker, Lucia Grillo, a near-lifelong vegan, Lucia's Vegan Lifestyle is the only show dedicated to 100% all-around vegan lifestyle - for the animals, for humans, and for the Planet. Airing on Manhattan Neighborhood Network (MNN)'s Lifestyle Channel 2, Lucia's Vegan Lifestyle reaches some 600,000 cable subscribers throughout Manhattan and the boroughs, and unlimited viewers worldwide during simultaneous live stream on the network's website and subsequent YouTube, FB Watch, and IGTV premieres. When the vegan lifestyle & culinary segments Lucia conceived for a New York cable TV show she produced and hosted for 10 years garnered 50,000+ views - a record for both the show and the channel - she knew she was onto something. Requests came in for a fully vegan show, so Lucia committed to giving her fans what they want - and created Lucia's Vegan Lifestyle. Covering food, beauty, fashion, activism, home, fitness, and health, LVL is sophisticated yet fun - with Lucia doing it all: dining at vegan diners or high-end establishments; interviewing designers, popular cookbook authors, activists; cooking and restaurant reviews with her hilariously DeNiro-like Italian Chef father; shoe and clothes shopping; trips to the spa or DIY self-care; at work on set as an actress, filmmaker, and model; and everything a lifelong vegan does during the course of a normal day - and not-so-normal days! Join actress and filmmaker Lucia Grillo along for the ride of vegan challenges and victories - as veganism becomes more diffuse and our host makes it accessible to everyone: be it in Brooklyn, Hollywood, Europe or wherever life takes her - and us.
- Nine-year-old Mariuzzedda lives in post-World War II Calabria, Italy. Each morning, she goes to work harvesting olives, then to school, with a grumbling, empty tummy. She cannot resist the tempting scent of fresh bread coming from the bakery, and begins taking bread, on credit. When Mr. Baker eventually asks her to pay what she owes, she hasn't the money. The devout Mrs. Pious offers to pay Mariuzzedda's debt, in exchange for her hair, to make a wig for baby Jesus' statue in church as a votive offering. Mariuzzedda must decide between giving up her locks or an inevitable beating from her mother. Through her ultimate decision to accept responsibility and pay the harsh, bitter consequences, Mariuzzedda proves a courage and maturity beyond her tender years.
