AN OMNIVOROUS FAMILY'S DILEMMA, co-presented by Factory Farming Awareness Coalition and featuring a post-film discussion (Doc Night)
Join the Factory Farming Awareness Coalition for an exclusive screening of "An Omnivorous Family's Dilemma," a new Korean documentary that has only been screened once before in the U.S.
After years of making documentaries, filmmaker and animal lover Hwang Yun hung up her camera in order to get married and start a family. Yet not long after the birth of her son, the foot-and-mouth disease epidemic spread across Korea resulting in the culling of thousands of pigs alongside other farmyard animals. Having previously had little concern for pigs, director Hwang suddenly found herself preoccupied with their plight. The questions swirling in her mind prompted the director to contact farms in order to film the arising situations and, after finally obtaining permission, she gathers her camera and embarks on documenting the life of pigs.
"An Omnivorous Family's Dilemma" is a charming and heartfelt family documentary, as well as a highly enjoyable and educational experience.
