Cowspiracy (2014)

Directed by Kip Sandersen & Keegan Kuhn

Thursday, October 11, 7:00 p.m.

This provocative documentary explores the impact of animal agriculture on the environment and how major environmental organizations fail to discuss and challenge animal agriculture’s role. This film argues that animal agriculture is the primary source of environmental problems such as global warming, deforestation and ocean dead zones. (91 min. Not rated.)

This film will be introduced by Dr. Steven Wagschal (Indiana University Department of Spanish and Portuguese) and co-chair of the Themester 2018 advisory committee. Dr. Wagschal’s latest book is Minding Animals in the Old and New Worlds.

This film is part of “Themester 2018: Animal/Human.” For other events and activities exploring the interrelationship of humans and non-human animals, see Themester’s schedule at https://themester.indiana.edu/news-events/index.html.
