At the Fork: A Screening

Filmmaker and omnivore John Papola, together with his vegetarian wife Lisa, 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.Movie discussion to follow with local farmers...A FILM ABOUT HUSBANDRY AND WIFE"A beautiful, caring, sensitive and surprisingly non-judgmental look at how most animals are produced in the United States.” - Mark Bittman“We need to produce healthy animals -- animals that can enjoy a life free from cruelty. At the Fork raises this issue with heart and clarity."DAVE MATTHEWS, Musician
