“Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret” Premieres in Hobart

Thursday 28 May, 6.30pm

At a time when whole regions are in drought, our oceans are dying, and severe weather is
becoming the norm, Cowspiracy seeks to find the real reasons why and what we can do
about it. This film explores the blind spots that are leading us down a road we won’t be
able to drive our electric car out of.

About Cowspiracy: Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret is a groundbreaking featurelength
environmental documentary following an intrepid filmmaker as he uncovers the
most destructive industry facing the planet today – and investigates why the world’s
leading environmental organizations are too afraid to talk about it. As eye-opening as
Blackfish and as inspiring as An Inconvenient Truth, this shocking yet humorous
documentary reveals the absolutely devastating environmental impact large-scale factory
farming has on our planet.

About the Filmmakers: Kip Andersen: Andersen’s environmental awakening came as a
result of An Inconvenient Truth. After seeing the film, he began to recycle religiously, turn
off lights constantly, shower infrequently, and ride a bike instead of driving. Andersen
believed he was doing everything he could to help the planet by following the guidelines of
national and international environmental organisations, but his life took a different direction
when he found out animal agriculture is the leading cause of environmental destruction.

He is the founder of Animals United Movement, focused on creating films and media
promoting sustainability, compassion, and peace for all of Earth’s inhabitants.
