A new feature documentary narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Kate Winslet is connecting the dots between ecological collapse and the food choices we make.
Premiering on September 16, “Eating Our Way to Extinction” uncovers the “hard truths” of animal agriculture and commercial fishing - while educating viewers on how avoiding animal products will have a profound impact on a sustainable future for our planet.
According to the documentary’s synopsis, it takes audiences on a cinematic journey around the world, from the depths of the Amazon rainforests to the Taiwanese Mountains, the Mongolian desert, the US Dust Bowl, the Norwegian Fjords and the Scottish coastlines.
The film features testimonials from the people at the forefront of the climate catastrophe, as well as globally renowned figures such as Richard Branson and Tony Robbins and leading scientists.
At its core, the documentary shows the power that people have to create change; it exposes the economic inefficiencies in the global meat market; it presents ground breaking research into the profound intellectual capabilities of animals as well as the benefits of a plant-based lifestyle.
“Although the window we have left seems intimidatingly small, we can all change the course of the climate disaster,” reads the synopsis.
“Avoiding animal products such as meat, fish, dairy and eggs, will have a profound impact towards a sustainable future for our planet. We all have the power to make an impact. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner – three chances to change the world for the better. Are you Eating To Extinction, or Eating For Tomorrow?”
The creators behind the viral clip, which Leonardo DiCaprio described as “the video future generations will be wishing everyone watched today”, are Ludo Brockway and Otto Brockway.
Eating Our Way To Extinction is out on September 16 in the US and the UK via a limited theatrical release for one night only with a digital release expected in Autumn.
