Description 1 online resource (92 min.)
Summary A heart-stopping new documentary, A RIVER OF WASTE exposes a huge health and environmental scandal in our modern industrial system of meat and poultry production. Some scientists have gone so far as to call the condemned current factory farm practices as "mini Chernobyls". In the U.S. and elsewhere, the meat and poultry industry is dominated by dangerous uses of arsenic, antibiotics, growth hormones, and by the dumping of massive amounts of sewage in fragile waterways and environments. The film documents the vast catastrophic impact on the environment and public health as well as focuses on the individual lives damaged and destroyed. Featuring interviews with: Don McCorkell, Drew Edmonson, Paul Shapiro, Dr. Robert Lawrence, Dr. Joanne Burkholder, Dr. Michael Greger, Michele Merkel
