This revealing investigative documentary exposes the hidden links between the meat industry, lobbyists and European power centers. Filmmakers Giulia Innocenziand Pablo D'Ambrosi take the viewer on a journey across Europe to show the true face of the intensive livestock industry and its political patrons. Many billions in taxpayers' money flow to an industry that mistreats animals, pollutes the environment and fuels possible future pandemics. These are probing confrontations with farmers, corporations and policymakers; economic interests trump public health, sustainability and ethics. International experts make clear how the industry's impact extends beyond animal welfare: from water pollution and antibiotic resistance to the exploitation of migrant workers and the loss of biodiversity.
Food for Profit is a cinematic indictment of an unsustainable system. And so it is also a call for change, with incisive analysis and possible solutions for a more just and sustainable food system.
