Meat the Future (2020)
The revolution will be documented!
The future is now! Meat from cells designed to grow in an ecologically efficient way, harmless to animals and clean is one massive proposition to humanity. With growing incomes and populations in the developing world, the demand for animal-based meat is expected to double by 2050. The sheer economic waste from clear-cutting land for animal grazing and meat production is killing the planet. By going cell-based for our consumption, would reduce land use and climate emissions by earth saving amounts. Animal Agriculture already takes up 45% of Earth's inhabitable land and our current food system by extractive capital is beyond its capacity limits.
Enter Meat the Future, which tells a fascinating story of a trail-blazing doctor, Uma Valeti, determined to save billions of human lives and trillions of animal lives. Viewers are brought into the exclusive and secretive world of Silicon Valley where technology and biology meld to solve a meat induced climate crisis. The film methodically showcases experts who discuss the complex issues surrounding cultivated meat from all angles of environmental, bio-medical and tissue engineering. It also delves into the huge problem of antibiotics and resultant antibiotic immunity in communities. The film does not look to do a shock and awe number but rather educates in a smart way in the face of all the scientific complexities from this nascent industry.
In essence, this captivating and truly avant-garde film is a gift to audiences in it presents a truly first hand look at life altering technology that could potentially change the arc of the humanity's co-existence with the planet.
