  • Review Article Carrie Packwood Freeman Protecting Meat
    H U M a N I M A L I A 8:2 Review Article Carrie Packwood Freeman Protecting Me at Kip Andersen & Keegan Kuhn, (Writers, Directors, & Producers). Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret . AUM films and First Spark Media. 2014. www.cowspiracy. com. A cow’s face stares at us on the DVD cover, and “cow” is in the name of the documentary, yet the marketing for Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret does not otherwise indicate that it is a film that animal rights and vegan advocates have special cause to celebrate. As a media scholar who falls in the latter two categories, I was pleased that this environmental documentary has much to offer the animal rights movement, as I will explain in this review. The film is eponymously framed as a thriller about industry and environmentalists conspiring to keep a secret. For example, cowspiracy.com calls it “the film that environmental organizations don’t want you to see,” and the DVD cover reads “there is one single industry destroying the planet more than any other. But environmental organizations don’t want to address it.” The back cover explains that the filmmaker investigates “why the leading environmental organizations are too afraid to talk about it.” One can guess by the title’s reference to cows that the industry in question is animal agriculture; however, most of us are accustomed to environmental discussions of food typically restricting themselves to critiquing factory farming, while endorsing 168 locavorism, smaller-scale grass-fed or organic farming methods, and fishing of certain “sustainable” wild species, or some aquaculture methods (Bristow & Fitzgerald; Freeman, “Meat's Place”; Stanescu).

As eye-opening as Blackfish and as inspiring as An Inconvenient Truth, this shocking yet humorous documentary reveals the absolutely devastating environmental impact large-scale factory farming has on our planet. LONG SYNOPSIS Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret is a groundbreaking feature-length environmental documentary following intrepid filmmaker Kip Andersen as he uncovers the most destructive industry facing the planet today – and investigates why the world's leading environmental organizations are too afraid to talk about it. Animal agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation, water consumption and pollution, is responsible for more greenhouse gases than the transportation industry, and 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 leaders in the environmental movement, he increasingly uncovers what appears to be an intentional refusal to discuss the issue of animal agriculture, while industry whistleblowers and watchdogs warn him of the risks to his freedom and even his life if he dares to persist.
