Great film. Very informative without being preachy. Gives people insight on animals raised for food and how consumers can help this industry drive more humane practices.

Gorgeous cinematography, relatable characters, and shockingly-unbiased. I'm amazed at how open the farmers were -- kudos to the filmmakers for creating an environment for intimate and honest conversation!
