From: http://www.ftcldf.org/news/Digest_Canty_Farmageddon_Trailer_111710.htm :

Farmageddon is a documentary about the escalating fight for food rights in America.

Farmageddon is truly the documentary movie that we've all been waiting for. It's about raw milk, farm families harmed by the overreach of government, food safety legislation, and consumer food rights.

Farmageddon is anticipated to awaken consumers much as did "Food Inc", which was released in 2009. The 90 minute documentary includes Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund Board Members - Sally Fallon Morell, Gary Cox. Esq, Pete Kennedy, Esq., Judith McGeary, Esq., Tim Wightman, members Joel Salatin, Mark McAfee and raided farm families including the Stowers of Manna Storehouse, Mark and Maryanne Nolt of Nature's Sunlight Farm,  the Smiths of Meadowsweet, the Faillaces of Vermont and many others.

The Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund attorneys staffing the emergency hot line often receive calls from farmers during raids, and advise them of their rights during the raids.

Joel Salatin, author, farmer, featured in films such as Food, Inc. and Fresh, writes:

"Many of you have seen Food Inc. and Fresh.  Now it's time for the next level: Farmageddon. Everyone should see this documentary because it takes up where previous documentaries have ended by answering the question: 'Why is local food pricey and hard to find?'  You deserve an answer, and this hard hitting video delivers. I can't recommend it heartily enough. Who owns your body?  What kind of terror do America's food police inflict on heritage food providers?  This is strong language, but we live in disturbing times.  You owe it to your children to empower yourself with the truth about food safety and food choice. Look at the dates and please go see this movie.

Tell them Joel sent you."
