Considering the ends. How to kill my animals
The filmmaker wanted to make this film for personal, historical and cultural reasons.
The project itself gravitates around the controversy surrounding the slaughter of livestock, which was brought back front and center in the debate by the widespread diffusion of footage taken directly within slaughterhouses.
It also placed the problem right on our plate: the consumption of animal flesh is neither harmless, nor innocent. The director Elsa Maury feels, however, that this matter raised the need for images and narratives formed from other perspectives.
