Eating Animals (2017)

Directed by Christopher Quinn, 94 mins

Eating Animals tells the story of the beginning of the end of factory farming.

Directed by Christopher Quinn (Sundance award-winner, God Grew Tired Of Us), and produced with Academy Award winner Natalie Portman and Jonathan Safran Foer, Eating Animals is the feature-length adaptation of Foer’s critically acclaimed book of the same name that starts out with a simple question — where do our eggs, dairy and meat come from?

Through the intimate narratives of several farmers dedicated to bringing their trade – and the way we eat – back to its roots, the film explores the notion of stepping away from the practices of the past 40 years that have polluted our environment, endangered our health, and caused us all to be complicit in the inhumane treatment of animals.

Looking at the costs we’ve incurred as we have become dominated by massive industrial complexes designed to feed the masses, Eating Animals paints a picture of a future where traditional farming is no longer a distant memory, but is instead the only way forward

Screening as part of this year's Global Health Film Festival programme; followed by discussion with the film's impact producer Simon Friedman and health experts
