RIGHT TO HARM exposes the devastating public health impact factory farming has on many rural communities throughout the United States. Filmed across the country, the documentary chronicles the failures of state agencies to protect communities against the harms of industrial animal agriculture. Known formally as Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations –or CAFOs –these facilities produce millions of gallons of untreated waste that destroys the quality of life for nearby neighbors. Fed up with the lack of safeguards, these citizens band together to demand justice from their legislators. At the screening, North Dakota citizens will host a Q&A session talking about how CAFOs affected their communities. The screening is free and open to the public! Please help us spread the word!

Did you know that concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) create polluted landscapes that harm public health and destroy home values? Join Food Sleuth Radio host and Registered Dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn, for her interview with Matt Wechsler, filmmaker, founder of Hourglass Films, and producer of “Right to Harm,” a film that explores the devastating impact of CAFOs on public health, the environment, and quality of life in rural communities across the United States. Those who suffer most are disadvantaged citizens – the rural poor, and children, who suffer higher rates of asthma when exposed to CAFO-related air pollution. The film also explores how citizens have banded together to demand justice from their legislators. If you eat meat or care about water and air quality, this is a must-see film.

In this episode, I talk with Matt Wechsler, an award-winning filmmaker from Chicago and the founder of Hourglass Films. He is a self-taught filmmaker who grew up in a family video production business. After servicing over 500 clients over 12 years, Matt decided to hang up his work-for-hire hat to pursue his dream of documentary filmmaking. He has since been nominated for two local Emmy awards and has won several film festival awards. Matt’s passion to solve complex issues continues to drive his desire to make films. I knew the food system was complex, but Matt’s documentary and this conversation opened my eyes even more. In today’s show you’ll hear: how a trip to the farmer’s market caused Matt to go down the rabbit hole to understand the importance of what makes food and farms sustainable his personal experience with changing with the way he ate including losing 10 pounds how unavailable water is despite planet earth being mostly made of it, the impact food policy has on farmers the amazing relationship he developed with farmers why despite current food policy, Matt’s outlook is refreshingly positive and how he always finds an opportunity and the TRUE cost of food Check out Matt's Film: www.sustainablefilm.com
