The Cove, Food INC Oscar Nominated Green Films
Written by Vegetarian Star on February 8th, 2010 in Animal Issues, Environment-Eco-Green, Film & TV, Food & Drink.
The Oscar nominations are in, and two films on the green and animal friendly side have received the honor.
The Cove, directed by Louie Psihoyos, depicts the secret slaughter of dolphins in Japan. The meat is later sold for human consumption and contains high levels of mercury.
Food Inc. shoots down the practice of factory farming and examines the effects of the industrial production of food on the environment.
Food Inc. was promoted by Stonyfield Farms, a company that produces dairy products using sustainable methods, organic ingredients and small family farms.
“It’s not just that these filmmakers expose vicious, inhumane and ecologically dangerous practices, apparently sanctioned and covered up by the Japanese government and its media,” film critic Marshall Fine said. “But the filmmakers have done it while risking their freedom — even their lives — for the cause.”
