Mother’s Milk (Maa ka Doodh) is a full length documentary (English and Hindi versions) about the meat industry in India. It features a medical doctor turned documentarian, who quits his job and embarks on an investigative journey across India to find out if there is indeed a link between the nation’s massive dairy consumption and its beef exports. The movie raises important questions about the meat and diary industry and if we want it to be part of our lives.
Natura Umana is a Romanian documentary movie (captioned in English and other languages) that explores the relationship between humans, animals and nature. The documentary raises a lot of questions regarding our interaction with animals and nature.

Food Value Cards
Food, especially fresh, locally grown vegetables, and fruits give our bodies energy. These foods also have certain characteristics that can remind us of our own inner qualities that we can nurture and grow. We have developed a set of blessing cards that celebrate these foods and our virtues.
