​Film 1: How Big Ag is Keeping Canada 30 Years Behind Runtime: 20 minutes

​Who sets animal welfare standards on farms? Discover how the National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC)—an industry-dominated body—controls how farmed animals are treated, and why its secretive role deserves closer scrutiny.

​Film 2: When the Truth Becomes a PR Problem: The Rise of Agricultural Front Groups Runtime: 33 minutes

​Explore how agricultural front groups copied tactics from Big Tobacco and Big Oil to manipulate public opinion and protect farm industry profits.

​​What to Expect:
