A Cow at My Table(1998)
A Cow at My Table Synopsis
A Cow at My Table explores Western attitudes towards farm animals and meat, and the intense battle between animal advocates and the meat industry to influence the consumer's mind. Five years in production took Director Jennifer Abbott across Canada, the US, Australia and New Zealand to meet with the leaders of the animal rights movement, animal welfare advocates as well as spokespeople from livestock industries. A Cow at My Table inter-cuts these diverse perspectives with archival films, images from modern-day agribusiness and footage of farm animals shot from uncharacteristic vantage points.
A Cow at My Table (1998) is a documentary film directed by Jennifer Abbott, released on January 1, 1998 with a runtime of 1h 20m. It stars Susan Kitchen, Susan Schafers, Joy Ripley and Ian Duncan.
