NOTES

Title from title frames

MEAT traces the process through which cattle and sheep become consumer goods. It depicts the processing and transportation of meat products by a highly automated packing plant, illustrating important points and problems in the area of production, transportation, logistics, equipment design, time-motion study, and labor management.. "MEAT’s commonplace inferno is the most extraordinary visual material in any of Wiseman’s 10 films on American institutions." – David Denby, The Boston Phoenix. "Wiseman’s most visually lacerating documentary…" - James Wolcott, The Village Voice
