Meat the Future exclusively follows the birth of the clean meat movement in North America, intimately following its movers and shakers as they risk everything to pioneer, test, fundraise, lobby, advocate, cook and unveil clean meat to the world. Foodies, activists and critics grapple with the significant challenges and revolutionary advantages of this nascent enterprise.
