Cowspiracy | Documentary on Factory Farming
Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret is a groundbreaking feature-length environmental documentary that follows intrepid filmmaker Kip Andersen. He uncovers the most destructive industry facing the planet today and investigates why the world’s leading environmental organizations are too afraid to discuss it.
Animal agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation, water consumption, and pollution. It is responsible for more greenhouse gases than the transportation industry. It is a primary driver of rainforest destruction, species extinction, habitat loss, topsoil erosion, ocean “dead zones,” and virtually every other environmental ill. Yet it goes on, almost entirely unchallenged.
As Andersen approaches environmental movement leaders, he increasingly uncovers what appears to be an intentional refusal to discuss the issue of animal agriculture. At the same time, industry whistleblowers and watchdogs warn him of the risks to his freedom and even his life if he dares persist.
As eye-opening as Blackfish and as inspiring as An Inconvenient Truth, this shocking yet humorous documentary reveals the devastating environmental impact large-scale factory farming has on our planet and offers a path to global sustainability for a growing population.
