Stories are shared of farmers across the country who have changed their life to start grass-based farms, and everyday solutions highlight actions people can make to support America's agriculture.

Movie Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by Frank ScheckAlthough Graham Meriwether’s film is far less incendiary than such similarly themed efforts as "Food, Inc." and "Fast Food Nation," it nonetheless offers considerable — pardon the pun — food for thought in its exploration of modern-day cattle, hog and chicken production.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 7/10 by Louis ProyectVery informative documentary even if it allows the filthy Steve Ells of Chipotle's a platform.
NYC Movie Guru - 5/10 by Avi OfferToo simplistic. You can't help but recall a much more insightful and thorough doc that treads similar ground, Food, Inc.
Village Voice - 5/10 by Araceli CruzAmerican Meat won't fully counter the negative sentiment that the meat industry has, but it's not entirely propaganda, either.
Variety - 4/10 by Ronnie ScheibA low-key, fairly evenhanded look at industrial vs. organic methods of raising livestock.
New York Daily News - 4/10 by Joe NeumaierThere’s a good chunk of info for those eager to know how the sausage gets made, as well as the facts of life and death surrounding what we consume. You just have to pluck the PR feathers and find the good parts.
The New York Times - 4/10 by Nicolas RapoldThe film’s ending, introducing farmers whose lives (and weight) have been changed for the better, sounds enough like an infomercial to undermine the whole enterprise.
Film Journal International - 4/10 by Eric MonderDocumentary about the current state of the meat industry is straightforward yet upbeat, almost "feel-good."
Slant Magazine - 4/10 by Steve MacfarlaneDespite the intensity of its scope and research, American Meat is a decidedly soft-hitting display of an overweening good faith that, frankly, just can't jibe with the times.
User Review - 10/10 by Cathy RThis is a very balanced film weighing pros and cons of each type of agriculture. Any farmer could bring his kid to watch. Also great movie for consumers to watch. I was amazed at what conventional meat practices have done to small town America with their efficiency!
