RELEASE Thu 10 Apr

Food for Profit reveals how the meat industry, supported by billions in European taxpayer money and powerful lobbyists, sacrifices animals, the environment, and public health for profit.

Food for Profit is an eye-opening investigative documentary that uncovers the hidden connections between the meat industry, lobbyists, and European power centers. Filmmakers Giulia Innocenzi and Pablo D’Ambrosi take the viewer on a shocking journey through Europe, revealing the true face of intensive livestock farming and its political protectors. With exclusive undercover footage from factory farms across various European countries and a daring infiltration into the Brussels lobbying world, Food for Profit exposes how hundreds of billions in taxpayer money flow into an industry that abuses animals, pollutes the environment, and potentially fuels future pandemics. Through intense confrontations with farmers, companies, and policymakers, the documentary unveils a system where economic interests outweigh public health, sustainability, and ethics. Additionally, international experts illustrate how the industry's impact goes beyond animal welfare: from water pollution and antibiotic resistance to the exploitation of migrant labor and biodiversity loss. Food for Profit is a cinematic indictment of a corrupt industry and the political system that sustains it. But it is also a call for change, offering sharp analyses and potential solutions for a fairer and more sustainable food system.
