A documentary film and discussion about food production presented by Bud Werner Memorial Library, Yampa Valley Sustainability Council and the Community Agriculture Alliance in honor of 2017 Ag Appreciation Week.

Filmmaker and omnivore John Papola, together with his vegetarian wife Lisa Versaci, offer up a timely and refreshingly unbiased look at how farm animals are raised for our consumption. With unprecedented access to large-scale conventional farms, Papola asks the tough questions behind every hamburger, glass of milk and baby-back rib. What he discovers are not heartless industrialists, but America’s farmers — real people who, along with him, are grappling with the moral dimensions of farming animals for food.

"A beautiful, caring, sensitive and surprisingly non-judgmental look at how most animals are produced in the United States.” — Mark Bittman
