​A film by Rebecca Burnett

DIRECTOR STATMENT:
We’ve become so far removed from our food production that we’ve lost sight that there are real living, feeling, sentient animals being horrifically mistreated unnecessarily. Thinking that the purpose of those animals is that they are here for us, to eat, to wear, to entertain us, aids in justifying cruelty. But they are not here for us, they are here with us and they deserve as much love and respect as we show our companion animals. Within a comedic narrative, Two Friends Meat encourages everyone to widen their circle of compassion.
