MILKED documentary follows a young activist who goes deep into dairy land where he takes on the giants of New Zealand’s most powerful industry, and reveals how the sacred cash-cow industry has been milked dry. His journey exposes not only the sustainability crisis and the dangerous denial of impending agricultural disruption, but also what New Zealand and other countries can do to change their fate.

Directed and Produced by Amy Taylor (Ahimsa Films) and Co-Produced by Chris Huriwai, MILKED is the film the dairy industry does NOT want you to see.
