Meat in the Crisis of the Living World
Meat remains deeply embedded in dietary practices, cultural imaginaries and economic models. Yet livestock farming accounts for a significant share of global greenhouse gas emissions and relies on production systems marked by animal suffering and the intensive exploitation of living systems. As the effects of the climate crisis are already being felt, political responses continue to fall short. Could reducing meat consumption become a meaningful form of individual action in the face of climate urgency? And might shifting the debate, from animal suffering to climate impact, open up new political and social perspectives?

The Last Pig
On a peaceful farm in northern New York State, a pig breeder finds himself in the midst of an ethical crisis. After ten years of raising pigs for meat, he can no longer bring himself to send them to the slaughterhouse. Filmed over the course of a year, The Last Pig paints the portrait of a man in search of meaning, grappling with doubt and questioning his values. A sensitive film about compassion, moral conscience and the transformations of the agricultural world.
