About the Event

3/28 @ 6:00 PM Peterson Hall 108 + via Zoom "Resources" (2021) A film by Hubert Caron-Guay and Serge-Olivier Rondeau Leadership  for the Ecozoic is pleased to announce the third instalment of its  monthly screening series "Dandelions," co-presented by the @criticalmedia.lab Synopsis: The  meat industry is booming in Quebec, where huge factories use  standardized production methods to convert vast herds of livestock into  meat. They hire asylum seekers, mainly from Latin America, so they can  continue to produce at competitive rates. This observational film splits  its focus between the workers and the animals; between the parallel  lives whose paths are destined to cross in the factories. We see new  arrivals talking with a community organization that mediates between the  workers and the factory, their stories and expectations intercut with  scenes of overcrowded pigsties and cows milked day in, day out, and  giving birth in chains. Directors Hubert Caron-Guay and Serge-Olivier  Rondeau also point the lens at the parched and utterly depleted earth,  where nothing but corn can grow. Everything that takes place here is in  service to optimizing production. At a calm pace, and without any direct  comment, we are witness to the living conditions of humans, animals,  and crops alike, in this subtle and critical look at a world driven by  capitalism and the living links in the chain that make this possible.
