Eating Our Way To Extinction (12)
Directed by Ludo Brockway and Otto Brockway
NARRATED and executively produced by award winning actor Kate Winslet, this powerful documentary by filmmakers and brothers Ludo and Otto Brockway investigates the effects of animal agriculture on the environment and climate change — taking a deep dive into how our love of meat and dairy is killing the planet, and how a plant-based diet is the solution.
The film reveals that by 2030, through deforestation to cultivate feed for livestock, only 10 per cent of forests will remain if urgent action isn’t taken now, while the world’s fresh water will run out in 30 years.
