A short documentary about a small-scale chicken farm. A review states, “It’s also pleasant to witness chicken ‘harvesting’ that isn’t filthy, foul or rife with brutality.” How can it not be rife with brutality when there’s death involved?
This kind of film is way overdue and I’m thankful that at least some farmers have the courage to open their slaughterhouse to the public eye. There’s a real disconnect between what ends up on a dinner plate and what has gone before to get it there. Whether you agree or disagree with eating meat, it’s important to understand and be informed.
