Mad Cow Sacred Cow - Trailer


Mad Cow Sacred Cow: a farm crisis, a food crisis and the bizarre journey of a beef-eating Hindu
Terrified of his food, filmmaker Anand Ramayya (Cosmic Current) embarks on a journey from his in-laws family farm in Canada all the way back to India, land of the Sacred Cow. His journey reveals shocking connections between the Mad Cow crisis, Farm crisis and Global Food crisis.
Weaving interviews from internationally reknowned 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 filmmakers own happy days of indiscriminate beef consumption to the frightening realities created by globalization.
