🎤Panel with UC Berkeley food scientists follows
🎬Wiseman's observational style, not activist polemic
⚠️Contains graphic slaughterhouse imagery

Frederick Wiseman's 1976 documentary tracks cattle from romantic Western ranges to industrial feedlots and packing plants. The film's graphic slaughterhouse scenes serve contemplation, not outrage: a clear-eyed study of how animals become commodities. Stick around after for a conversation with UC Berkeley food researchers.
