Meat the Future immerses the audience in a world afflicted by the effects of contemporary industrial animal agribusiness and focuses on a solution-oriented narrative. This 90-minute character-driven documentary explores the advent of real meat without the need to raise and butcher animals. It reveals obstacles and triumphs and poses a multitude of questions about the future. Meat the Future is a three-year account of the potentially game-changing birth of a new food sector referred to as "cell-based" "clean" and "cultured" meat–a phrase that is hotly contested as the industry nears commercialization.
