About: A Cow at My Table
A Cow at My Table is a 1998 documentary film examining Western attitudes towards farm animals and meat.

It was directed, shot, and edited by Jennifer Abbott, who spent five years travelling across Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand to interview representatives on all sides. The film intercuts these interviews with images of farm animals and industrial farming operations. It explores what is sometimes popularly called factory farming.
