Eating Animals
Based on the best-selling book by Jonathan Safran Foer and narrated by co-producer Natalie Portman, Eating Animals is an eye-opening documentary directed by Christopher Quinn, which explores the history of food production in America. The film chronicles the evolution of local, sustainable farming into a vast corporate concern, which offers cheap dairy products, meat and eggs by introducing antibiotics and hormones into the food chain. The documentary meets farmers who have proudly upheld ethical practices, putting animals rights ahead of vast profits. Contributors also discuss the environmental, economic and public health consequences of putting food on plates as cheaply as possible.
