Go to a dairy to see how milk is amde

Film about cows, milk and how it's produced. From it's biblical beginnings to the history of cows in the US, the film then takes us step by step of the milk squirting process, and how it's pasteurized.

Is the reality of dairy consistent with what the industry tries to convey? Well... make your own mind up.

This educational program hosted by Farmer Bill gives kids an up-close look at life on a high-tech, 700-cow dairy farm as they learn how moo juice goes from cow to cup and witness the feeding and milking processes. Later, children meet a newborn calf and visit a plant to see how cheese is made. Aimed at youngsters ages 2 to 10, the video teaches them about the realities of modern farming and the effort required to get food to market.

What we show in Milk is literally the best of the best when it comes to dairy farming, yet, as soon we view what happens from the perspective of the mother cow, it becomes clear that this is an industry that runs on the exploitation and suffering of animals. By using animation, we are able to show a unique perspective and tell the story of the mother cow in a way that cannot be done from investigative footage alone. Milk centres the cow as the protagonist of her own story and allows us to view what is happening to her from an up close and personal perspective. Organic, free-range, high-welfare, humanely raised. It doesn’t matter what label we put on dairy products, all dairy cows are victims of an industry that forcibly impregnates them, takes their babies from them, exploits their bodies and then sends them to a slaughterhouse to cut their throats. It's time to end the dairy industry.

This illustrates in a simple way how conventional dairy cows are used. What would happen if people were to be used in the same way?

The story takes place in the "Milkily" ice cream factory where Goya, a young goat, works amazingly giving her milk like many others, ignorant to the outside world. Goya spends the day in an exhausting routine, locked in a cubicle while working on the production line until an accident with the extraction machine changes her life forever.
