Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret

Cowspiracy is a 2014 documentary film in which director and narrators Kip Anderson and Keegan Kuhn explore the destruction that animal agriculture has on our overall environment and the true path to sustainability. The documentary digs deep into the ignorance that humans have on our everyday choices and the effects it has on our environment, such as sustainability and climate change. The film exposes us to information many of our so-called "trustworthy" environmental organizations keep a secret. The films argument is basically that animal agriculture is the most harmful industry around the world today, responsible for a numerous amount of global destruction.

Overrall, I can recommend this documentary to an environmental based audience. It is not safe to assume that every point made in the film is true, but the film exposes it's audience to the actual, real problems going on with the environment that are potentially kept a secret. Anyone who does not really interested in the environment, or more specifically, animal agriculture, will not have a lot to take away from Cowspiracy as they probably don't have an opinion on it in the first place.

You already know the subject, animal husbandry. You all know the thesis - that animal husbandry is simply ecologically unsustainable with our current population numbers.

What Cowspiracy does is take one person through a very personal journey to show just how there is only one course of action that will allow this species to have a reasonable chance of surviving at the current population levels. We can change and adapt and go to a more healthy diet or we can wait for a massive ecological change and have our population levels and civilization crash like so many others have before.

Is it perfect? No, but it is still that good. I wish broadcast TV had the guts to run it. I wish it were played in schools. Unfortunately they never will.

Probably one of the most interesting documentary on the subject of environmental protection I've gotten to watch in years. the documentary is about the taboo of animal husbandry's impact on climate change through the three-fold of gas-emitions, deforestation and water polution. the film-makers cover the subject, the impossibility of any type of animal husbandry to become sustainable, as well as the unwillingless of NGO's to mention the subject in their campaigns. It then goes on with possible answers to the question of self-censorship, mostly through the legal crackdown on any opposition to the meat & dairy industry through the animal enterprise terrorism act. The soundtrack is by Keegan Kuhn a.k.a xTrue Naturex. In a sense, I also enjoyed the movie for bringing up environmental reasons to be vegan, which could help making sense to a lot of people for whom the ethical reason of not considering any being as properties, and bridge lifestyle change with social change again.

This should be seen by everyone. By very taboo that this is, not only on the internet but as the people around us, why not for a long time something will change, for better or for worse but will change, and the choice will not pass through the big multi-nationals, but by the choices of each A documentary not lose without a doubt! Excellent movie you have to watch and get the knowledge. The planet's most destructive industry, Governments and environmental organizations strive to conceal from the public the real cause of climate change and global warming. Good Movie. 10/10. A documentary that everyone should see and reflect .... I'm honest, I'm not able to stop eating steak and burgers but I think one day, my children or my grandchildren (if you have them), will be forced to do without this luxury ... As this documentary explained so well, it's impossible to go on like this!?!

A real open eyes, which make me search for sustainable food or a vegetarian..

Not like a normal review, read another to find out about the film! This time it's just praise!

Excellent documentary. This will quickly become a key issue if we all talk about it and share it with others. For every person that makes any change to their diet, the better off we all are. Imagine if right now all omnivores became overnight vegetarians? That's a huge step in the right direction, what if all the vegetarians became overnight vegans? Also the only 1 star review as of December 2nd 2014 was from a new account, every other review (6 others, mine makes it 8 total reviews) was 10 stars. I personally was told about this film and was encouraged to watch it, so glad I did.

Unlike the Earthlings that was just horrible to watch all the cruelty, this documentary still makes you angry, while only a few really hard scenes to stomach or look away from for a few seconds. *Warning ducks* Give it a watch, share it and let's make a difference, *psst our generation out numbers those old dying baby boomers, so the earth is literally in our hands, not the hands of old people who don't know about the amount of power the sharing internet has!
