Pet on the Menu

About This Movie

So, here's a documentary that kind of flips the script on how we think about our food. 'Pet on the Menu' takes you right into the life of a family raising meat rabbits, which, honestly, is a bit of a departure from your typical farm doc. The pacing is deliberate, almost contemplative, allowing the audience to really sit with the realities of life and death on a small scale. The cinematography captures the bunnies’ playful antics but juxtaposes that with their ultimate fate. There’s a raw honesty to their approach, and the family members are genuinely engaging, sharing personal anecdotes that lend an unexpected warmth. It's distinct, not just for its subject matter but for how it challenges our perceptions of pets versus livestock.
