Jx J A must-watch documentary that will change your life. Cowspiracy delves into the devastating impact of animal agriculture on the environment. While many believe that fossil fuels are the primary driver of environmental destruction, this film reveals how raising animals for food is a leading cause of deforestation, water pollution, species extinction, and greenhouse gas emissions. It also exposes how environmental organizations have largely ignored or downplayed this issue. The documentary makes it clear that sustainable living requires us to reconsider our food choices. The most effective step we can take to protect our planet is to adopt a plant-based lifestyle. Cowspiracy is an urgent wake-up call for anyone who cares about the future of the Earth. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Audience Member A groundbreaking documentary that exposes the devastating environmental impact of animal agriculture, and the alarming silence of major environmental organizations on this issue. Through compelling evidence, it reveals how meat and dairy production drive deforestation, water depletion, and climate change, making it clear that our meat/mil/egg eating choices have devastating consequences. For anyone who cares about the environment, animals, or their own health "Cowspiracy" makes an undeniable case that going vegan is not just a choice but a moral responsibility. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review Katina K Amazing and thought-provoking material made so easy to follow. Everything is so obvious and impossible not to see from a rational intelligent person. Thank you, Kip, for asking the questions I would aks myself and to put yourself out there for truth to comes out. We are truly lost if we don't start waking up and caring for each other. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/26/24 Full Review Pantera O "If you don't realize right now, that you are putting your neck in the chopping blocks, you better turn off that, and throw it away" Una investigación sobre la industria alimentaria, y el problema que representa. Reveladora. Preocupante. Activista. Una investigación independiente, con cámara en mano, involucrandose directamente con múltiples compañías que rechazan entrevistas, evadiendo temas, negando datos y hechos científicos, en la contraparte de personas involucradas en la crisis ambiental y en la industria de la comida, desde directivos, granjeros y hasta gente que sustenta su propia alimentación. Intercala su investigación y entrevistas con videos de archivo. Tiene un tono bastante "orgánico" por su tipo de produccion, la ambientación músical y el mismo personaje ambientalista que busca salvar el mundo, dramatizando bastante el documental, mezclando sus emociones con la objetividad, llegando a perder algo de seriedad, por otro lado tiene una buena presentación de la información, concreta y contundente. Critica otros documentales de no abordar la raíz del problema, pero aqui tampoco profundiza en el problema principal, que es el capitalismo. El problema de la sustentabilidad de la comida. Una de las primeras causas, si no es que la primera de la crisis ambiental, oculta y suprimida por las grandes compañias que se benefician de la industria alimentaria, una de las mas poderosas en el mundo, siendo la causa numero uno de la deforestación y perdida de especies, ademas del alarmante abuso de agua, y por ende, el calentamiento global. En pocas palabras, es nuestro consumo lo que esta acabando con el planeta. Una comparación del daño de combustibles fósiles, el cual se le ha fijado toda la atención sobre la crisis ambiental, cuando hay información que indica que la agricultura y ganadería tiene un impacto mucho mayor, pero nadie le presta atención. Crea conciencia sobre nuestro consumo, en específico sobre la alimentación y el consumo de carne. La vi en mi cel. ¿Do you think is any concern about to us doing this documentary? In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. Técnica: 6.6 Expresión: 5.7 Efecto: 8.6 Experiencia: 5.4 Calificación: 6.6/10 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review Luke C While this doc is trying to accomplish a wow factor among audiences it does so by using misleading facts and painting certain individuals as problematic. The creators of this film have never and will never address critiques of this film because they know the film is flawed. It is a film intentionally set up to create vegetarians out of the masses while using poor citations and misleading statistics on it most important claims. For me it fails to reach audiences unless they seem to be predisposed to false narratives. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/14/24 Full Review Sarah K Great documentary! Definitely a must watch!
