Genius. Vegan. Radicalized.
They called themselves the "Zizians" — a fringe network of militant vegan computer whizzes led by a disillusioned software developer named Ziz LaSota.
Hosted by Andrew Westlund, this limited series explores how an offshoot of a Silicon Valley artificial intelligence safety movement traded philosophy for extreme paranoia, isolation, and sleep-deprivation experiments. Over several episodes, Vegan Siths follows the digital breadcrumbs of a utopian experiment that spiraled into faked deaths, tactical ambushes, and a trail of blood stretching across three states.
From the crowded waterways of the California coast to a chilling double execution in suburban Pennsylvania, this limited series pulls back the curtain on a modern descent into radicalization.
