SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
sebach-76901 I think that's a good movie. Because it puts global warming in a different perspective and it is not only oil and coal that is a problem.
gofastergetrounder The US agricultural industry not only causes huge environmental and human health problems, they get virtually a free pass from any meaningful regulatory oversight and rarely get criticized or exposed. This movie does a great job of showing some of the facets of harm and lack of control or attention paid to this problem. Just a tremendously huge breath of fresh air.
Cyniphile Lots of other reviews have stated how this documentary works as propaganda by misrepresenting facts and selecting dubious sources, so I won't repeat. I just want to express my disgust.I am stunned that someone so bent on spreading "the truth" can simultaneously reach his hand into the evidence bag and manipulate and misrepresent the real truth to fit his view of the world. Or to fit a sexy storyline for his career-making documentary... Kip, you are no better than Goebbels. In your self-righteous pursuit of film success you sell out the only thing that really matters in your profession: the truth.I really hope you change your path in life. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and big egos. Please put yours aside, for the sake of a world innocently consuming the trash you put forth.
pthuer In conclusion it is an interesting and compelling movie but not what a documentary should be in regards to objectivity. I encourage everybody to look for cowspiracy fake check after watching it in order to not share missinformation due to the movie. Nobody should be convinced on the base of a crooked argument, the author thought different.For a deeper review read below: After watching the film i was quite upset and thought about changing my life for the good. The film is interesting, provoking, pays attention to a subject which is neglected by mainstream films etc., but in the end the numbers in the film a wrong. The film maker either wanted to convince the audience instead of showing the status quo of research regarding the topic or didn't look well enough into the numbers he is showing. The numbers used were published by 2 researchers in a highly debatable paper which hasn't been peer reviewed and purposely suggests a higher impact of methane produced by the livestock industry on climate change than the one produced by other industries. Therefore, the paper concludes a relative impact of around 51% on climate change for the livestock industry. A conservative and objective source like the paper "LIVESTOCK'S LONG SHADOW" published by FOA of the UN in 2006 results in a relative impact of around 14,7%. The film didn't cover this, instead it stated the first number as a fact, which it obviously isn't. The audience doesn't get enough information and opinion pluralism to create an own opinion but is convinced that the arguments of the film are true and everyone critiquing it is doing it due to his or her own agenda.
