Filmmaker and omnivore John Papola, together with his vegetarian wife Lisa, offer up a timely and refreshingly unbiased look at how farm animals are raised for our consumption. With unprecedented access to large-scale conventional farms, Papola asks the tough questions behind every hamburger, glass of milk and baby-back rib. What he discovers are not heartless industrialists, but America’s farmers — real people who, along with him, are grappling with the moral dimensions of farming animals for food.
Sign up to organize a screening at your local theater or community venue, or get screening alerts for future events in your area.
At the Fork has partnered with Tugg, a theatrical event platform that helps movie lovers like you attend or organize one-time local screenings for films that might not otherwise make their way to the big screen! These are crowdsourced screenings that cost the normal price of admission to each participating theater, but a minimum number of tickets need to be sold for each screening to take place. To get started, reserve your ticket for an existing event above or sign up to organize your own, help get the word out, and we will take care of the rest.

The At the Fork challenge is a national campaign that offers participants a step-by-step plan to improve the lives of farm animals while expanding an ethical eating lifestyle. You’ll receive 21 days of higher-welfare and plant-based recipes and a “Daily Challenge Recipe” from featured chefs, and we’ll introduce you to the three R’s: refuse, reduce, replace. In each email you’ll also receive helpful shopping guides, expert articles, information about higher-welfare products, fun facts about farm animals, and information on how you are making a difference.
