At a time when whole regions of the world are in drought, our oceans are dying, and severe weather is becoming the norm, Cowspiracy seeks to find the real reasons why and what we can do about it.
Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret is a feature-length environmental documentary following an intrepid filmmaker as he uncovers the "most destructive industry facing the planet today" - and investigates why the world's leading environmental organisations are too afraid to talk about it. 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.
Meat Free Mondays South Africa is a non-profit environmental campaign, trying to spread awareness in South Africa about the devastating impact that factory farming has on the planet, animal welfare and humanity. In the past two years, the organisation has spoken to nearly 15,000 South Africans about how important diet is in terms of sustainability.
Brett Thompson, National Programme Manager, had this to say about Cowspiracy: "When looking at sustainability, diet needs to be addressed first. Cowspiracy accurately unravels how important diet is in mitigating all of the leading causes of global depletion while showing what is stopping environmental organisations from being more vocal on the matter."
While You Were Sleeping is a Cape Town-based non-profit collective committed to bringing progressive documentary films with important social and environmental messages to South African audiences. There are many very good documentary films that never make it onto the South African mainstream cinema circuit. By bringing some of these incisive and riveting international and local documentaries to South Africa, we hope to raise the levels of public awareness and debate about a wide variety of important issues.
