Our natural resources and our people are precious. To thrive on our planet human beings must live in harmony with the natural world. Here in Aotearoa New Zealand it is time to start having those difficult conversations about where we currently stand and what kind of future lays ahead.***
Thanks to the collaboration between Pablo (La Planta Café) and Dave (NakedEye Digital Vision) we are pleased to announce that we will have a single screening of Amy Taylors impactful New Zealand made documentary film MILKED.
The film will screen in Nelson for one night only on Saturday the 11th of March at the Suter Cinema.
After the screening we will be joined by the films main character Pere Huriwai-Seger and freshwater ecologist and science communicator Dr Mike Joy for a short presentation followed by Q&A with Pere and Dr Mike along with other knowledgeable guests as Nate Wilbourne, the local youth environmentalist.

ABOUT THE FILM:
Dairy in New Zealand is big business. We are the globe’s biggest milk exporter – but that success may be coming at devastating costs, as this local David-and-Goliath documentary illustrates.
MILKED sees young activist Pere Huriwai-Seger (formerly Chris Huriwai), raised in the rural community of Ōtaua, looking to make sense of the conflicting claims coming from both the dairy industry and environmental protection camps. Is New Zealand dairy farming really the most sustainable and efficient in the world, as dairy giant Fonterra claims, or is that just greenwashing over the true ecological cost of business? Chris hits the road to find out.
Featuring interviews with high-profile contributors such as famed primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall, environmentalist and former actress Suzy Amis Cameron, and Cowspiracy co-director Keegan Kuhn, MILKED reveals the behind-the-scenes reality of the New Zealand dairy farming fairy tale. It uncovers alarming information about the impacts of the industry on the environment and our health, leading up to the discovery that we’re on the edge of the biggest global disruption of food and agriculture in history.
An impactful global story told with a local eye, the film also points to what New Zealand and other countries can do to change their fate.
