A poignant film that highlights the stomach-churning practices of the meat-packing industry. It's enough to make you want to be a vegetarian.
Here's the thing that I didn't like though. In its critcisim, both in the film and the DVD extras, it highlights the 'big bad corporations,' but what I didn't see was the fact that if people just stop going to the fast food joints, the whole problem goes away. It ignored the demand side of the equation.
Still, a great feature film that had a documentary message. The only thing that annoyed me was that 2 of the stars were the same as Little Miss Sunshine. I guess I don't like seeing the same actors appearing together in a totally unrelated movie. Hard to break the association.
