Some more info about the film:
Meat the Truth is the very first documentary to address the relationship between livestock farming and climate change. The film is presented by Marianne Thieme, Member of Parliament for the Party for the Animals in the Netherlands. Meat the Truth is based on authoritative and influential scientific sources, which demonstrate that livestock farming is one of the most important causes of global warming.
According to a report by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the livestock farming industry generates more greenhouse gas emissions than all other transport worldwide, in other words, all other cars, trucks, trains, ships and planes added together! The livestock sector is also a major source of land and water degradation.
Meat the Truth features celebrities such as Pamela Anderson, Bill Maher, James Cromwell, Emily Deschanel, Tony Denison, Esai Morales, Megan Blake and many more. The Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation hopes that this film will make a valuable contribution to the societal discussion about the transition to a more plant-based diet and thus also a more humane society.
