Amid narrow views about cows and climate change, this feature-length documentary explores the true impact of cattle and the potential consequences of their removal. It aims to start an important conversation about the role cows play in our daily lives and the world around us. We aim to challenge the prevailing narrative and encourage viewers to examine the science.
World Without Cows is an incredible journey around the world in search of the answer to one simple question: Are we better off in a world without cows? With unprecedented global access to those on the frontlines of agriculture and science, filmmakers Brandon Whitworth and Michelle Michael examined the cultural and economic significance of cows, their role in nourishing the world and their impact on climate. What they found was far from simple: When it comes to cows, it’s not black and white. World Without Cows invites viewers to take a scientific look at the real impact of cows on our world — and the potential consequences of their absence.
