Young Farmer Screening SeriesMonday-Tuesday, March 4-12
Locations throughout Ohio
See American Meat for FREE! It's the new documentary that takes a pro-farmer look at chicken, hog, and cattle production in America.
Late last year, American Meat kicked off a nationwide screening tour called the Young Farmer Screening Series. This tour takes place at universities, colleges, agricultural high schools, and FFA chapters with three core goals in mind:
- Thank farmers.
- Support young farmers.
- Spread the notion that food choices matter.

Beginning with a history of our current industrial system, the feedlots and confinement operations are revealed, not through hidden cameras, but through the eyes of the farmers who live and work there. From there, the story shifts to Polyface Farms, where the Salatin family has developed an alternative agricultural model based on rotational grazing and local distribution. Nationwide, a local-food movement of farmers, chefs, and everyday people has taken root...But could it ever feed us all?
