If you really want to find out what´s behind your perfumes, toothpaste, hamburgers, leather shoes, handbags, wallets, jelly desserts, mouthwash, soaps, candles... A long list of cattle by-products (Click here), and therefore endless possibilities of getting infected with BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, or Mad Cow Disease, caused by "indestructible" prions, or perhaps by a Spiroplasma or Mycoplasma) along the line, then the following visual film is for you.
Si tú quieres saber de verdad qué hay detrás de tus perfumes, los dentífricos, las hamburguesas, los zapatos de cuero, los bolsos de cuero, las billeteras de cuero, los postres gelatinosos, los enjuagues bucales, los jabones, las velas... en fin, una larga lista de subproductos derivados del ganado vacuno (pinchar aquí), y por lo tanto con las posibilidades infinitas de ser infectado por la enfermedad EEB (Encefalopatía Espongiforme Bovina, o Enfermedad de las Vacas Locas, causada por priones "indestructibles", o tal vez por un Spiroplasma o Mycoplasma) a lo largo de la cadena, entonces el siguiente film visual es para tí.

Quote:
"Patrick Rouxel
France, 2011, 65 mins.
The second in a trilogy of tropical rainforest destruction films.
Beautifully shot, alternately joyful and horrifying, Alma captures the ecological, and even spiritual, cost of meat, dairy, and leather production in the Amazon.
Since 2003, Patrick Rouxel has dedicated his time to making films aimed at raising awareness of deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and the ethical treatment of animals. The multi-award winning GREEN presented a heartrending account of the life of an Orangutan against a backdrop of palm oil production and natural habitat loss.
In Alma, Rouxel continues his cinematic journey into the world's forests and the industries that are destroying them, this time heading to Brazil to explore the devastating impacts of the cattle industry. Here he creates a powerful statement about the global industrial economy and the speed with which virgin forests are being cleared for timber and new grazing land.
The film offers a unique and visually stunning exposition of a colorful cowboy culture and the millions of animals used to satisfy our voracious global appetite for meat and dairy products. In almost-wordless contemplation, the film wanders from forest to pasture to rodeo to slaughterhouse to market to tannery. In essence, Alma is a journey into the soul of humanity and a testimony of the damage inflicted by humans on the natural world."
