188.5 Meat the Future (2020) with Liz Marshall

This week, Becky sits down with noted documentarian Liz Marshall to discuss her latest thought-provoking feature documentary "Meat the Future”

Meat the Future was meant to be screening at this year’s Hot Docs festival, but due to extenuating circumstances, you can now watch it on CBC Gem FOR FREE as part of the HotDocs at Home series.

And boy do we recommend it - Chronicling the birth of an industry, Meat the Future is a close-up and personal look at the visionaries who are risking everything to innovate and produce real meat without slaughtering animals and without environmental destruction. Follow Dr. Uma Valeti and his team at Memphis Meats as they face challenges in regulation, ethics, and the very limits of scientific knowledge as they pursue the next frontier of food-based innovation that could change the world for the better.

Regardless of how you feel about genetically engineered food - Meat the Future is sure to inspire conversation and deep thought.

You can watch Meat the Future on CBC Gem right now.
