Short Synopsis:
In five years, Norun Haugen went undercover in the Norwegian pig industry with a hidden camera. What kind of life did the pig have before ending up on your dinner plate? What Norun found during her undercover is very shocking. Long Synopsis: Commercials romanticise farm life while politicians brag about the high ethical standards of national farming. People dream of leaving the city to live on a peaceful farm and children’s school books depict cosy family-run farms. But this is all far from reality. The animals we eat in modern societies are rarely visible to the public. Most of our pigs, for instance, live their lives far away from us, yet we consume them like there’s no tomorrow. |
From an Anima International article:
"Ola Waagen is a filmmaker with a strong sense of civic duty and a special interest in political documentaries and the impact of storytelling. His 2014 documentary film Inside Fur (Pels in Norwegian) has been screened in festivals and on television all over the world, and has won several awards. It was the most discussed Norwegian documentary the year it was released. The film raised the question of the ethics of fur farming—a debate which led to the passage of a ban on fur farming in Norway in 2019 which will take effect in February 2025."
