Narrated by Kate Winslet, this alarming documentary will challenge the way you look at the food industry. What is the true cost of food? Who pays the price? Featuring shocking undercover footage, commentary from some of the world’s best-known personalities, and poignant first-hand accounts from indigenous people, this film will permanently change your perception of food and its critical connection to the future of our planet.
“The message of the film is actually a very simple one, and that’s that we essentially, as individuals, have the power ourselves to create such a huge change, a positive change in the environment, simply by switching from animal-based proteins to plant-based proteins. One of the main intentions for wanting to make the film was seeing the science that was very solid from some of the world’s most respected intellectual institutions around the world. But when you look at science coming out of Oxford University, where they say in developed countries, we need a reduction of meat and dairy by around 80% in the next few years if we are to keep below the Paris Climate Accord – that’s a huge shift.” (Otto Brockway)
