Produced by Sustainable Table and Free Range Studios, the animated movie The Meatrix spoofs The Matrix trilogy while illustrating the problems with industrial agriculture and today’s meat supply. The Meatrix uses pop culture and entertainment to educate viewers about the food they eat and where it comes from. The film features three superhero farm animals including Leo, the young pig who wonders if he is “the One,” Chickity, the feathered family farm defender, and Moopheus, the trench-coat-clad cow with a passion for green pastures. Join the group as they delve into the reality of animal cruelty, antibiotic overuse, massive pollution and destroyed communities.
The Meatrix returns with The Meatrix II ½ at www.moremeatrix.com. This time, our heroes Moopheus, Leo, and Chickity take on another facet of industrial agriculture– meat processing. Picking up from their last adventure at a dairy farm, Leo and Chickity attempt to rescue Moopheus, who has been kidnapped and taken to a slaughterhouse. The Meatrix II ½ has been created and produced by Sustainable Table (www.sustainabletable.org) and Free Range Studios (www.freerangestudios.com) for Participant Productions and their social action campaign around the Fast Food Nation movie (www.participate.net/fastfoodnation).
