Narrated by co-producer Natalie Portman, and directed by Christopher Quinn (God Grew Tired Of Us). Nearly all of the meat, eggs, and dairy we eat comes from the industrial system known as factory farming. This system destroys our environment and harms public health, and never before has humankind caused more suffering. Based on Jonathan Safran Foer's critically acclaimed book of the same name, EATING ANIMALS spotlights the heroic farmers, whistleblowers, and innovators who are standing up, against all odds, to fight this system and provide a new way forward.
