GREEN SCREENS presents Bacon, the Film
Hugo Latulippe, 2002, 82 min
Honourable Mention for the Audience Award, Hot Docs, 2002
Several years ago, large-scale hog producers and their political allies in Quebec decided to branch out into international markets. But bacon, like everything else, has its price. Bacon, the Film asks whether we have properly measured the social and environmental impacts of this proliferation of huge hog operations. The soil is already showing signs of sterility. Rivers are contaminated. Water, the very symbol of life, has itself become a hazard in some communities. The situation could be spinning out of control. Abandoned by the state, citizens groups are making their voices heard and taking back democracy. An unexpected grain of sand in a machine well oiled by neo-liberal dogma, they are fighting to keep society on a human scale. Subtitled in English.
GREEN SCREENS partners films from the National Film Board with experts and panellists from the Canadian Institute for Environmental Law and Policy. If you are interested in the environment, GREEN SCREENS will both entertain and educate.
