Food For Profit is the first feature documentary that exposes the links between the meat industry, lobbying, and the corridors of power. It denounces how Europe is transferring hundreds of billions of taxpayers’ money into the hands of intensive farms, which mistreat animals, pollute the environment, and pose a potential danger for future pandemics. With a cinematic approach for an investigative documentary, Giulia Innocenzi and Pablo D’Ambrosi take us on an enlightening but shocking journey across Europe, where they confront farmers, corporations, and politicians. Their team of investigators infiltrated farms in many European countries, exposing the truth behind the perceived excellence of European dairy and meat production. In parallel, a lobbyist has infiltrated the high spheres of power in Brussels, gaining shocking information.

At the end of the screening, the directors Giulia Innocenzi and Pablo D’Ambrosi will connect on Zoom for a Q&A session.
