Compassion Arts is deeply honored to present a one-night only screening of this powerful and important documentary, The Last Pig, followed by a talk by its award winning filmmaker and animal advocate Allison Argo. The Last Pig is a lyrical meditation on what it means to be a sentient creature with the power to kill. Deeply immersive, the film follows a farmer in his final year of slaughtering pigs. Through sparse, intimate musings, the farmer reveals his growing conflict over a life spent “peddling in death.” As the story unfolds, his struggle becomes our own. The Last Pig is a poetic snapshot of a seminal year in one man’s life as he journeys beyond the slaughterhouse. www.thelastpig.com
