Green Screens Presents

FOWL PLAY
Thursday, May 13 at 6:30pm
Tickets On Sale Now!

Screening followed by a panel discussion and then a reception in the Furman Gallery.

Most Americans are opposed to the inhumane treatment of animals—which is why the egg industry is so secretive about the operations that yield food for our breakfast tables. Fowl Play investigates hen abuse in the industry, drawing on the dedicated documentation of activists. Interviews with rescuers, veterinarians, and animal behaviorists challenge us to consider the politics of ethical eating.

Panelists: Matt Rice, Mercy for Animals; Jenny Brown, Founder, Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary; Martha Lazar, Chicken keeper and blogger (Brooklyn Feed); Elizabeth Ayer, BK Farmyard’s farmer and consultant, Farm Director and Caretaker at Wyckoff Community Garden and Farmers Market.

Fowl Play
Adam Durand, 2009, USA; 50m

Preceded by

Cows Are Nice
Kor ar Fina
Stephan Jarl, Sweden, 2007; 13m
With the rise of large, industrial farms, the small farmers, unable to compete, must sell their dairy cows and Sweden is now importing milk.
