The extensive airing that CNN gave the documentary Blackfish had a tremendous effect on the film's reach and impact. We are asking that CNN consider offering the same visibility to a new documentary, called Cowspiracy.

Cowspiracy explores the connection between a sustainable environment and our current animal agriculture system. It's a connection that even the most forceful of environmental groups have consistently avoided, despite overwhelming evidence from several sources, including the United Nations.

The film explores the connection, the hesitancy to discuss it, and our options going forward if we wish to create a sustainable, environmentally sound food system.

Without the support of a large network like CNN, the film will remain largely invisible to the general public. With primetime screenings such as Blackfish enjoyed, Cowspiracy has the potential to awaken many people to the path we're on, and to help create support for alternative choices and the protection of the planet we all share.
