Now available exclusively on Netflix is Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret, a controversial new documentary from environmental truthers Kip Andersen and Keegan Kuhn.

Backed by environmental activist Leonardo DiCaprio, the film has already garnered some serious buzz regarding collusion between the animal agriculture industry and high-profile environmental non-profit organizations like Greenpeace. What Andersen and Kuhn uncover through tireless research is an alleged case of bribery and blackmail in exchange for silence about the extensive damage farming and fishing are causing the planet.

They argue, that while environmental agencies urge us to recycle and be mindful of our water usage, they are actively choosing not to discuss a much more sinister issue of animal agriculture and the amount of natural resources it requires to farm and fish on a mass scale. Don’t be deterred, however, because the film features “cow” in the title. Rather than focus on the ill practices that occur within the mass farming industry (think Food, Inc), the filmmaking duo emphasizes an even more unsettling problem: the rapid destruction of Earth’s natural resources. While Cowspiracy certainly features stomach-turning scenes likened to those you might come across on say, PETA’s website, the film isn’t about mistreatment, but the science behind unsustainable farming and fishing and their impact on global warming, ocean dead zones, deforestation, and extinction of species.

Whether or not you consider yourself an advocate for mindful environmental practices or are a faithful vegetarian or vegan, Cowspiracy is a must-see documentary effort. In addition to being darkly comedic and at times, wittily acerbic, Andersen’s and Kuhn’s research offers an eye-opening, completely original argument amidst a saturated, sometimes contradictory, conversation surrounding the preservation of our planet. Stream it now, exclusively on Netflix.
