Mad Cow disease | M6 | Zone Interdite

This documentary, a long investigation on mad cow disease through-out France, denounces the omerta (law of silence) which covered up the mad cow affair, points out the paradoxes and provides information by treating the subject from all angles. The camera goes right into the slaughter houses and the animal flour warehouses, films infractions of the sanitary laws, listens to the concerted silence of institutions, follows for the first time the national brigade of veterinary investigations, gives voice to farmers and their families who criticize the lack of information and the pressures, and clarifies the scientific aspect of the illness by returning to its origin, showing how it’s transmitted, and the development of prions.
