Mad Cow Sacred Cow Air Date
Mad Cow Sacred Cow will have its broadcast premiere on CBC Newsworld's "The Lens" on Feb 3rd at 10PM Eastern. This is Anand Ramayya's follow-up to the Gemini winning, "Cosmic Current."
After enjoying its World Premiere last month at the Whistler Film Festival, Mad Cow Sacred Cow will have its broadcast premiere on CBC Newsworld's "The Lens" on Feb. 3rd at 10:00PM EST.
Following up on the Gemini Award winning “Cosmic Current,” filmmaker Anand Ramayya embarks on another personal journey but this time he is a new father, and completely terrified of his food. The steaks are high as his journey reveals shocking connections between the Mad Cow crisis, Farm crisis and Global Food crisis.
Weaving interviews from renowned speakers such as Dr. Vandana Shiva, Maneka Gandhi, Dr. Murray Waldman, Nettie Wiebe and Swami Agnivesh with stunning visuals of a personal journey that crosses continents, the story of Mad Cow Sacred Cow takes us from the filmmaker’s own happy days of indiscriminate beef consumption to the frightening realities created by globalization.
Mad Cow Sacred Cow is a universal story that connects the food we eat to the environmental, cultural, economic and health crisis we are currently facing on a global level. A project that began over four years ago in response to the Mad Cow crisis has become even more relevant and timely today.
