From breaking box office records in Italy to igniting a media frenzy in Spain, this film has sparked global conversations, drawing the attention of influencers and environmental groups worldwide.

 

Food for Profit is the first feature documentary that exposes the links between the meat industry, lobbying, and the corridors of power. Through a 5-year investigation, it denounces how Europe is transferring hundreds of billions of taxpayers’ money into the hands of intensive farms, which mistreat animals, pollute the environment, and pose a potential danger for future pandemics. With a cinematic approach for an investigative documentary, Giulia Innocenzi and Pablo D’Ambrosi take us on an enlightening but shocking journey across Europe, where they confront farmers, corporations, and politicians. Their team of investigators infiltrated farms in many European countries, exposing the truth behind the perceived excellence of European dairy and meat production. In parallel, a lobbyist infiltrated the high spheres of power in Brussels, gaining shocking information.

 

This documentary not only discloses the horror of intensive farms and the political corruption behind it, but with a pool of international experts, it tackles and analyses the many problems related to factory farming: from water pollution, to exploitation of migrants, and from biodiversity loss to antibiotic resistance. The film’s outcry is loud and clear: we must stop this corrupt system now if we want to save the Planet. And ourselves, too.
