Dzisiejsze metody hodowli oraz produkcji rolnej są odpowiedzią na wielkość konsumpcji i sprzedaży tzw. fast foodów, która obejmuje coraz szerszy zasięg od lat 50. Zysk zaczął liczyć się dużo bardziej od zdrowia konsumentów, pracujących przy taśmach ludzi, a także humanitarnych sposobów zabijania zwierząt. Film dokumentalny "Korporacyjna żywność" bez ogródek ukazuje przekleństwo dzisiejszego świata, w którym konsumpcja jest najważniejsza i nic poza nią nie ma znaczenia.
Dokument przedstawia wpływ hodowli przemysłowych na środowisko naturalne, jednocześnie poszukując realnych rozwiązań ratowania planety i odnalezienia odpowiedniej drogi do zrównoważonego rozwoju.

Although evidence of meat consumption's negative impact on the planet and on human health continue stacking up as animal welfare is on the decline, humanity's love affair with hamburgers, steaks, nuggets and chops just doesn't end. In The End of Meat, filmmaker Marc Pierschel embarks on a journey to discover what effect a post-meat world would have on the environment, the animals and ourselves. He meets Esther the Wonder Pig, who became an internet phenomenon; talks to pioneers leading the vegan movement in Germany; visits the first fully vegetarian city in India; witnesses rescued farm animals enjoying their newly found freedom; observes the future food innovators making meat and dairy without the animals, even harvesting "bacon" from the ocean and much more. The End of Meat reveals the hidden impact of meat consumption; explores the opportunities and benefits of a shift to a more compassionate diet; and raises critical questions about the future role of animals in our society.
Co-directors Hubert Caron-Guay and Serge-Olivier Rondeau follow migrant workers through the steps in the hiring process of a community-based employment assistance organization. The filmmakers highlight the migrants’ difficult path by capturing conversations between the future employees and the recruiters. Through images shot on a body camera and a minimalist observational approach, the film exposes harsh and poignant realities. It draws parallels between the changing of the seasons and the cycle of the cattle industry that begins with animals being raised and cared for at a ranch and ends with them being sent to the abattoir grimly looming in the background. Ressources is a sobering and thought-provoking work that gives a voice to those who are at the heart of the food system that sustains this country.
