FWD from The Montreal Vegetarian Tasters (Meetup Group)
Here is some infos about documentaries that was sent to me by a member
(David B.). I judge that this information is very relevant to the philosophy
of this group so I decided to share it with everyone. Thank you David.
1) We Feed The World - An eye opening look at modern food production, how
our food is grown, how it is transported etc... On YouTube in 10 parts.
Here's part one. You'll find links to other parts on the page.

2) Blue Gold - World Water Wars. A really great documentary about the global
water crisis facing the world. Really well done. What's going on abroad and
who the key players are. An absolute must see to know what's going on with
water issues. On YouTube in 10 parts. Here's part one. Follow links on the
page to the other parts.

3) King Corn - Corn is the U.S.'s biggest crop. They don't grow edible corn,
but rather industrial corn which is used to make corn syrup, an ingredient
that makes Americans fat, and for cattle feed, which makes cows fat and sick
with ecoli bacteria. Find out more and inform yourself by watching this doc
in 4 parts.

4) The World According to Monsanto. This is a must-see doc on GM
(genetically modified) foods. This company is trying to profit by
controlling the world's food production with patents on the seeds. They must
be stopped. The best thing you can do is watch this doc and pass it onto
others. Watch the 10 parts on YouTube. Here's part one.

5) FLOW: For Love of Water. Similar to Blue Gold: Water Wars. This doc is
also worth a watch for another take on water issues. 8 parts on YouTube.
Here's part one.

6) The Truth About Bottled Water by Penn & Teller. Do you have a friend
stuck on the bottled water habit? Show them this funny 10 minute clip. Yes,
I said funny. Check it out.

Knowledge is power. Everyone has power. Your power is your mouth and your
pocketbook. Vote for your food choices with your dollars. Share these links
to documentaries with your friends. If you tell 10 friends, they'll tell 10
other friends and it goes on from there. If enough people get educated on
these issues, movements can be created. If movements are created, you can
change the world.
I'd like to add some.
EARTHINGS is a documentary film about mankind's complete economic dependence
on animals raised for pets, food, clothing, entertainment and scientific
research. Using hidden cameras and never before seen footage, EARTHLINGS,
chronicles the day-to-day practices of the largest industries in the world,
all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative,
controversial and thought provoking, EARTHLINGS is by far the most
comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature,
animals and human economic interests.

Farm Sanctuary, My Friends at the Farm: The green pastures and idyllic
barnyard scenes of years past, which are still portrayed in children's
books, have been replaced by windowless metal sheds, wire cages, gestation
crates, and other confinement systems-what is now known as "factory
farming." This very educational video, narrated by Casey Affleck, shows kids
the truth about factory farms and the animals living on them.

Devour the Earth: The 20-minutes film shows in different chapters the global
consequences of meat consumption.The particular headlines: Wasted Food,
Wasted Land-Deforestation-Global Warming-Soil Depletion-Acid Rain-Suffering
Seas-Health and Welfare http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b2k98YLSnk
Home: We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10
years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources
and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate. The stakes are high
for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME
has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human
being. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqxENMKaeCU
Peaceable Kingdom used to be available online too.. Ah well, any more adds?
There are lots of other ones like The Meatrix, etc.
