Three people who sit at different points of the meat industry carry this DW documentary. Pig farmer Dirk Nienhaus opens up his high-tech piggery, walking through the efficiency logic of modern livestock breeding while admitting he sometimes wonders whether his animals suffer. Friedrich Mülln, founder of the animal welfare group SOKO Tierschutz, works the opposite side, filming secretly at night to document violations inside factory farms; some of that covert footage appears here. Anja Hradetzky farms differently again, raising cattle on open pasture with calves staying alongside their mothers and animals killed in the field with a single shot rather than shipped to slaughter. Her story raises the harder question underneath the whole film: why her model, however humane, remains a tiny fraction of livestock farming, and why she still struggles to make it pay. The film moves between piggery, hidden-camera footage, and pasture without picking a side outright, letting the three perspectives argue the economics and ethics of cheap meat against each other.
