Movie Review: 'Farmageddon'

“Farmageddon,” which is opening Friday, Oct. 7, at the Majestic Theatre at the Conway Cafe, is a documentary that sheds light on an unseen issue: the government's persecution of small family dairy farms. The problem is writer/producer/director Kristin Canty doesn't really have much to say about the subject other than it is bad.

Canty, whose intentions are clearly noble, decided to make “Farmageddon” after discovering raw milk was able to cure her son's allergies. In talking to local farmers she discovered much of their troubles and wanted to share their stories.
