The White Meat Manifesto

This film deals with the abuse of labor. As such, it would be the worst kind of irony if we made it by abusing labor. Therefore, we vow to… 

  • Pay fair, livable wages
  • Have reasonable hours that allow workers to live their lives
  • Have a respectful work environment where kindness is the default and unkindness is not tolerated
  • Work with funders who not only understand that treating labor with respect will likely be more expensive and time consuming, but actually think that’s an excellent use of money and time…
