University Students and members of the public are welcome to attend.
Film 1: How Big Ag is Keeping Canada 30 Years Behind Runtime: 20 minutes
Film 2: Animal Justice’s explainer about the National Farm Animal Care Council (or NFACC) Runtime: 33 minutes
When the Truth Becomes a PR Problem: The Rise of Agricultural Front Groups
Animal Justice’s documentary about front groups and the man driving many of these initiatives, Charlie Arnot.
The Purpose
As part of Animal Justice’s ongoing effort to tackle the animal agriculture industry’s systemic power, we have produced two short documentaries about underdiscussed adversaries with an outsized influence in government, media, and corporate supply chains.
We believe these issues have been longstanding barriers to progress when it comes to animal protection in Canada and should be a priority for animal activists looking to drive systemic change.
While anyone is welcome to attend, the purpose is for animal activists and soon-to-be-activists to better understand these issues and to initiate and facilitate grassroots organizing to tackle them.
These sessions may also interest Political science and public policy students, law students, journalism and social media students, philosophy, ethics and more.
We will host a Q&A and facilitated discussion after the film screenings. Alexandra Pester, Senior Staff Lawyer at will also be in attendance.
I look forward to seeing you there.
