    • Synopsis
    • Imagine a world where real meat is produced sustainably, without the need to breed, raise and slaughter animals. This is no longer science fiction, it is now within reach. At the forefront of this urgent frontier is Mayo Clinic trained cardiologist Dr. Uma Valeti, the co-founder and CEO of Upside Foods (previously Memphis Meats), the leading start-up of the cultivated meat revolution. From a meatball which cost $18,000 per pound to the world’s first cultivated poultry for half the cost, the film follows Valeti and his team over five years as the cost of production plummets, and consumers eye the imminent birth of this industry. Proposing a game-changing solution, the film is narrated by Jane Goodall and features music by Moby.
