THE JUNGLE (+ Meat Matters panel)

Join the Canadian Premiere of The Jungle, a powerful documentary exposing the forces shaping the meat industry while highlighting Indigenous knowledge and farmer-led alternatives. Praised by food journalist Jon Steinman as one of the clearest examinations to date of the architecture of our food supply, the film sets the stage for the Meat Matters panel, where local farmers and meat experts bring the conversation home.
