Video footage is undoubtedly the most powerful tool the animal rights movement has to expose the plight of farmed animals. Farm to Fridge, Mercy For Animals’ most hard-hitting film to date, is setting the new standard. Narrated by Academy Award-nominee, James Cromwell, Farm to Fridge takes viewers on an unforgettable 12-minute journey behind the closed doors of the nation’s largest industrial poultry, pig, dairy and fish farms, hatcheries, and slaughter plants. Based on MFA’s highly acclaimed undercover investigations, Farm to Fridge chronicles some of the most egregious animal cruelty ever documented.
Using the power of video to inspire compassion and create long-term social change is easier than you think! One viewer writes, “I just wanted to share a small victory from [Farm to Fridge] – that would be my brother of all people watching part of it and questioning his way of eating … [A]fter making it to the poultry part of the MFA video, he called me and said he was horrified and wants to sit down and have a conversation about going vegetarian.” The viewer simply shared Farm to Fridge on Facebook.
